Five steps to a friendlier church:

1. Speak to the other person first. Don’t wait for him or her to take the initiative.
2. If there is someone you don’t know, introduce yourself to him or her.
3. Be pleasant in your words and expressions. A great church cannot be built with frowns.
4. Invite newcomers to a worship service or to a church event and introduce them to other members.
5. Encourage people to participate in those church activities that interest them.

*GraceNet provides research, coaching and consulting in the effective spiritual leadership of new and revitalizing congregations.
^‡A “lectionary” is a collection of readings or selections from the Scriptures, arranged and intended for proclamation during worship of the people of God.
