This is always a tricky one!
I remember hearing once that people in church are like lego blocks... often the connecting dots on their blocks are already connected with others in the congregation. So it is very difficult getting newcomers connected to others in the church.
So, if you have any ideas on how to connect people into the congregation, I would love to hear from you!
I see Many newcomers each week but few seem to connect with the regulars in a way so that they keep coming. We have tried "dinners of eight" where twice a year we set up a meal at various houses where each contributes part of the meal... and this works well, but is only effective every so often...
Thanks!
