Be a Friend, Bring a Friend!

Proverbs 18:24 – “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

Friend Day 2008 is just around the corner. Friend Day is one of the most effective tools in bringing others to Christ.

Did you know?

The number one reason a person will visit Calvary Baptist Church is because a friend invited them. The number one reason people come to Christ is because Christians befriended them and cared enough to share their faith with them. It has also been found that the second greatest reason people do not attend a church is the unfriendliness of church members.

A warm and friendly atmosphere will not just happen; it must be cultivated. Proverbs 18:24 is clear that if you want friends, you must be a friend. Let’s ask God this Friend Day to help us be a friend to someone who needs a friend. Together we can make this Friend Day the best ever by working hard to invite family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors to be our guest on this special day. Be a friend by bringing your friend to Calvary Baptist Church, introducing them to the Friend of friends, the Lord Jesus Christ. It just may be a day your friend will remember forever.

See you on Friend Day,
Pastor
