As I was doing research for creating invitations to get people to come back to church, I found this absolutely FANTASTIC video and group in England that has taken the idea of just one Sunday to invite people to a season of inviting. The video is a joy to watch and the idea of expanding from one time to a whole season of inviting.
Giving your congregation six times throughout the fall and advent season to invite people to church greatly increases the possibility they will attend. I just found this and am still thinking and praying about how I will use this for Effective Church Communications--but for now take a few minutes to watch the video.

This link goes to one of my very favorite videos here on inviting a stranger to church, plus an older video, but still EXTREMELY important – it is about Invitation Cards and how essential they are for year-round inviting.
