Gearing Up for Welcome Mat Sunday Sep 10!

We're looking forward to having a very special Sunday on Sep 10. The entire church is rolling out the Welcome Mat! We at Rivers Edge are rolling out our own carpet as well.

There a several groups of people that we specifically want to welcome:

a) our friends and neighbors who see the life we have in Christ,
b) potential new friends who visit the worship service at 9:15 and are unfamiliar with the concept of Bible study groups,
c) old friends who attend worship service at 9:15, but simply have not hooked into a vibrant Bible study group,
d) old friends who have been involved in the past with our Bible study.

Here's a question that many of you may hear when interacting with these new and old friends:

"What's the big deal with going to a Bible study group (or Sunday School for the hard core Baptists!)?"

How will you respond?
