Fall 2009 Sunday School Emphasis: GO – Make the Connection with Others

The Great Commission reminds us that we are to “Go and make Disciples of all nations, baptizing them…and teach (them) to obey…” (Matthew 28:19). Over the next two years we will be emphasizing the importance of that great commission from Jesus.

People are waiting on us to invite them to church…to our local Sunday School class. Tom Rainer, in his book The Unchurched Next Door, discovered that 97% of the unchurched said that they were likely or somewhat likely to attend church if someone invited them to come! The question is, “Who will invite them?” The answer should be, “Me.”

You and I are the ones our neighbors, friends, relatives, work associates – young and old alike – are waiting on to invite them to Sunday School. During this spring emphasis, we are encouraging you to motivate and prayerfully consider who God will place on your heart to invite to Sunday School. God will use our witness and invitation to speak to people and draw them to Himself.
