Dear friends,
I was delighted with the way you the congregation responded for Come back to church Sunday. (20 September). It was evident that a number had made an effort to invite (even bring) others to church who presumably would not have been there otherwise.  Even accounting for the friends and family of the new communicants, the congregation was substantially increased. I offer my thanks to those of you who made an effort in this regard. 
As Christians of course we shouldn’t have to be cajoled into bringing others into contact with the gospel. As the Christian song says “as a fire   is meant for burning  with a bright and warming flame so the Church is meant for mission...”.    

If the first disciples had been satisfied to keep the gospel good news to themselves or too lazy or afraid to share it there would have been no Christian church at all.
Keep up the good work!
Yours faithfully
