During the season Lent, as we build toward Easter, we can see signs 
 of new life all around us in nature.  Sometimes it seems as if 
 “all creation” is crying out in the spring-time for 
 “New Life.”  Besides Advent/Christmas, I can think of 
 no better time of year than during Lent/Easter to invite someone.   


Would you consider lifting five persons in prayer (write them down 
on a card) that they might  be drawn closer during this season towards 
God?  Would you also make a decision to invite three of these persons 
to a Worship service before Easter of ‘08?  Statistics tell us 
that people usually visit church because they have been invited to do so.


Below is the schedule for March and some good opportunities to invite a 
friend to church.
