Recently, the polls have confirmed: "Most of the unchurched would welcome an invitation to church".
On the average, 80% of your community is unchurched. Some variations may occur. Recently we counted up all the churches in our city area and guestimated at the average attendance. We discovered that we were an average town where about 80% of the population does not go to church on the average Sunday morning. This is in the Bible belt, in the South!
And yet, so many still don't get it! We have a tremendous harvest that is awaiting us. And to think that the Unchurched are simply waiting for an invitation to come to church. Are we inviting them?
We are doing our second Friend Day this Easter Sunday. People are inviting. We more than doubled our attendance last year. We are hoping for at least the same this time.

I have asked people that go to the bigger churches in our city how they got started going to the church they go to and all except one said that someone had invited them. They might have found something they liked after they got there but they were first invited.
