Follow Up

On Sunday we had many first time guests. From the people I met and those who our staff talked to, it was clear that many guests came because they were INVITED by someone at CSF. Of course, having Mike Minter as a guest speaker made it an easy invite. That is why we had Mike come. We knew there were people who normally do not attend church anywhere that would come and hear about the Love and Grace of God because a sports star like Mike was speaking.

What should you as a regular attendee do now? You should take time over the next few days and do these things:

1) Ask the person you invited how they liked the service?

2) Ask them how they like the style of CSF?

3) Ask them what they thought about the message in the music and the message that Mike gave?

4) If, they have questions about what Mike said or about CSF....do your best to answer their questions. If they ask a questions you do not know...tell them you will find out the answer and get back with them.

5) Ask them to join you again this Sunday.

At CSF we are about reaching out to people who need to hear about Jesus Christ. We value wanting to help connect relationally to Him and of course to the fine people who call this place home. It has been my experience that if people come and enjoy the actual service and the people....then they stay. Then, after time, they begin to allow the truth of God to help guide them and their families into a great new journey.

Go ahead...follow up. You and your friend will be glad you did!
