Things That Will Help Our Gospel Meeting

The gospel of Christ will be preached in its purity and simplicity by Mike Bonner beginning on Sunday. Please consider the following suggestions for a great gospel meeting:

• Be an active participant. Think of it as MY meeting. Make every possible effort to attend every assembly. Determine that the Lord and His work are going to be first regardless.
• Invite and bring friends. All of us have someone in our acquaintance that we can influence to come with us. Be around him or her, make them feel at ease, introduce them to others, have them in your home for a meal or refreshments, and invite them to come again.
• Be enthusiastic about the meeting. Talk about the lessons and how much you have been helped. Talk the meeting up, and say nothing to discourage others.
• Be friendly and neighborly. Make a special effort to speak to those with whom you are least acquainted. Introduce yourself to as many visitors as possible. Welcome them warmly, and invite them to return. Be friendly to all.
• Be quiet and reverent. Remember we are here for spiritual reasons. Spirituality is essential. Let us do everything possible to create a spiritual atmosphere during the services.
• Be attentive in everything. Be ready to sing. Be ready to pray. Listen to every word of the sermon. This is not only good for you, but also an object lesson to our visitors. Visitors will notice our good attitude. They will be impressed.
• Be responsible for your family’s attendance and conduct. Be on time at each assembly. Help your family to be a credit to the Lord and a good influence.
