Big Day!

Tomorrow is Vision Sunday which has become something we do every year at RBCC around this time in March.
It is roughly the same weekend back in March of 2002 when I shared the vision for Rock Bridge to about 90-100 at the NW Georgia Trade Center. Since we launched, we've been recasting and resharing the vision for our church at this time of year.

We make it a big invite day for our people to bring a friend(s) with them to church. This one day alone has year in and year grown our church, broken attendance barriers, and helped us reach and connect new people.

--I've already heard of one couple who has SEVEN people coming with them tomorrow!!
--One person is bringing FOUR with her.
--Two weeks ago a guy brought TWENTY-FOUR people with him to church!!
--Hundreds of other personal invitations have gone out ... it's AWESOME!

We have done advertising, marketing, mailers, billboards, radio, tv ... BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BEATS ONE FRIEND INVITING ANOTHER FRIEND, ONE RELATIVE INVITING ANOTHER RELATIVE TO COME & SEE WHAT CHRIST & HIS CHURCH ARE ALL ABOUT!!!
