Inviting others to church — or church-hosted events — can feel daunting at times. Below are some practical tips and tools you can use to others to The HUNT and Easter at Echo.
Tips for Inviting Others
Be Yourself
Consider Your Circles
Leverage Tech
Identify a Need
Don’t overthink it! Use words that feel natural to how you speak.
Focus on inviting people from your communities outside of church, like your:
Coworkers
Neighbors
Interest-based groups (e.g., book club)
People at your gym
Digital forms of communication make it much easier to reach out to people. Consider extending your invitation in the following ways:
During a hangout or Zoom
Text or call
Email
Social media DM
Share Echo’s social media posts (@echochurchlive on Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
Think about a specific issue the person you want to invite might be struggling with, and frame your invitation around that need.
A Note on Responses
If they accept, that’s great! If you’re available, attend or watch the Sunday message at the same time as the person you invited. Then check in with them afterwards on their thoughts. If they decline, don’t feel bad! Continue to establish a relationship with the person, and keep praying for them.
Posting on Social Media
One way you can invite others to join you at The HUNT and Easter is to create your own social posts.
