Mention what you are likely to wear. Say you will bring a Bible for the two of you to share. If your guest brings a child, explain about activities for children. Suggest going early to decide whether the guest s kids should attend Sunday school or the worship service or both. Release them from the fear of public introductions.
Some churches ask visitors to introduce themselves.
Arrange to arrive together. Offer to pick up your friend at home, meet for coffee or breakfast at a nearby restaurant before the service, or make plans to meet in the parking lot so you can enter the church together. Consider individual needs. Learn what special needs your church accommodates such as wheel chair ramps or a chair lift, bathrooms accessible to the physically challenged, earphones for the hearing impaired, foreign or sign language translators or a nursery or cry room for parents with young children. Prepare answers to questions and a plan for when you don t have answers.
