The Inviting Church

Presbyterians are not known for being good at inviting people to church. We tend to think that’s not our style. But why not? And really, why church, if you don’t want to invite people?

Inspired by the article “We Will No Longer Be a Welcoming Church” by Rev. Dr. Robert G. Moss, a Lutheran pastor in Colorado, we’ll spend 3 weeks exploring why and how to be an inviting church. Click here to read the article. For the adult learning portion of Big Table, we will spend the first three weeks exploring what it means to be a part of church, what scripture and tradition teach us about church, how you feel connected to and/or disconnected from the church, ways to connect at St. Andrews, and we’ll playfully (no pressure) practice going public with our faith. Rev. Camille will be leading the adult program. The children will also be engaging in some of this in their own way.

Each week we gather for a catered meal around the big table. We’ll have some mission components and some time for an inter-generational activity. Then we split up with the children going to Glory to God worship arts program and the adults having their own time of learning together. On the last week of the session, May 22nd, we’ll have an inter-generational celebration of the end of the school year to get us ready for the summer.
