Last Sunday, that was the 5th of October, we hosted our second Welcome lunch for people either new or relatively new to MBC.
In total, around 30 volunteers and guests got together to mingle and mix over a lunch of jacket potatoes, salads and samosas all rounded off with homemade cakes.
How effective this particular form of evangelism is we may never know, but from both the comments we received on the day and these two follow up notes it certainly seems to have been a success.
Good afternoon Pastor, Deaconate, and the entire team. I just want to sincerely thank you all for the warm welcome and the wonderful time at the new members’ lunch today. It was such a beautiful experience filled with love, joy, and a true sense of family. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this amazing church community.
Thank you for all the effort, thoughtfulness, and genuine care that went into making today special. God bless you all abundantly.
And…
Thank you for making my parents feel so welcome, that was the first time my dad has been to church for a long time and I was so grateful with the welcome he received.
Of course none of this could take place without some people giving their time and others accepting the invitation. So to you all we say a heartfelt thankyou.
Oh, and in case you missed out on this one, a heads up that we’re planning to do another Welcome lunch early next year.
