Day Seventeen

Difficulty: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️ (7/10)

Have you taken a moment yet this year to reflect on the importance of Easter and the impact the message of Easter has on your life? It’s too amazing to keep to yourself, right?

Today's challenge is all about inviting others to experience the hope of Easter in their life. So let's go ahead and share!

Step 1 - Post an Easter invite to your friends on social media. When you create your post answer these two questions: Why are you so excited to celebrate Easter? How could someone join you in celebrating with your church?

Step 2 - Remember the three people we've been praying for? Shoot them a text invite. Here are some example scripts to get you started. Remember, they might say no, and that’s okay. “No” now doesn’t mean “no” forever. Plus, if we don’t ask at all, it's for sure a “no.” Step out in faith, and trust the Lord will guide your words.

“Hey {FIRST_NAME}, how are things going?”

“That’s great! Well, I just wanted to reach out and see if you had any plans to attend church on Easter Sunday.”

[IF RESPONSE IS “NO”]

“Well, I’d love for you to come with me to my church. It’s called Encounter Church. I think you’ll like it. We have

[NAME ELEMENT THAT WOULD RELATE TO THEM LIKE GREAT KIDS AREA, GREAT MUSIC, RELATABLE PASTOR, ETC.]

[IF RESPONSE IS “YES” OR THEY AREN’T INTERESTED]
“No worries at all. I just wanted to throw out the opportunity. If you ever are looking for a church to visit, you’re always welcome to come with me. We’d love to have you.”

Keep it upbeat and relational. Don’t be afraid of a “no.” Again, this might plant a seed that will grow later. You got this!
