As Peter said in his sermon how can we achieve what St Wendreda’s exists for?

Hi John,
As we were not at that service we cannot comment and not everyone has a computor, it might be good to advertise what we have to offer such as the hall the Church, when we hold special services/ events in local papers, maybe working with other Churches to share worship and services together might also raise our profile in the general comunity. I feel we need to make people aware we have a website, maybe another leaflet drop around the parish or hand them out in the town?
Advertise, advertise, advertise – what we have to offer: Church building, church hall, times of services, report on services etc. in local papers. Take a more active part in Churches Together. Only this week there was a report from one of Trinity’s Christmas services in the Fenland Citizen.
To bring Christ to the community there is no better way then training the Church in how to share their faith with others.
I recommend The Way of the Master eight week training course.
I have my own personal copy of the full course with DVD’s I will gladly lend this to your Church for you to evaluate. Alternatively you can contact Pastor Jonathan Stevens from Providence Baptist Church who has run this same course in his Church and the results are very encouraging.
