Notes

• Our gatherings are primarily for believers but with an eye to the outsider
• Be relaxed and genuine
• Welcome people like you would welcome people into your home
  • Remind people why we've gathered in a way that outsiders can understand
  • Provide clear instructions
  • Final close - Remind of next steps, preview next week, invite to fellowship
• Model engagement when seated during the service
  • Sit close
  • Respond appropriately (both spiritual and practical)
• Talk up everyone who comes the platform
  • "Lets make them feel welcome as they come up"
• The more you can mention people be name the more personal and connected people feel
• Interviews need banter and paraphrasing, talk up the interviewee, engage with them rather than the congregation
  • Ask the why questions not the what.
• Announcements show what we care about
  • Sell the vision not the logistics
  • Distinguish the event audience and don't use hard labels "non-christian"
