What is a culture of invitation?
It means that we are going to be more welcoming in Church, having services and social events that are easy to come to, and each of us making an effort to invite friends and family to come along.
What are we going to do?
We are focusing on having something in each month of the year that we can easily invite people to. It comes down to you and me, to invite people to come with us.
After all, which of your friends or family would object to being invited to a pancake party, a parish barbeque or an Easter morning service to get an Easter egg?
