Friendship Registry

Yesterday we started something new at Heritage (I know it is crazy...something new in a baptist church). We presented to our people a new way of managing our Sunday Morning attendance...we call this the "Friendship Registry." Everyone who attends the Sunday Morning service will need to write their name in a folder and pass the folder down their row.

To our amazement, "most" people took the time to fill out the sheet in the folder. Because of the Friendship Registry, we had a record number of guests give us their information. This can only help us as our church continues to grow and as we strive for great organization.

This process will only be effective if we do the necessary follow-up on these people and stop making excuses of why we don't do the necessary follow-up that is needed to take our church to the next level.

Too much is on the line!

Hi, Jared! Like your site. I know I;m not single, but ant to know what your thoughts are on stuff. I agree on the planning; I could never have a plan for anything. My favorite passage in the OT is Jeremiah 29:11-14. I learned that when we had a ladies Bible study at Heritage; ever since I read that, it has proved itself over and over. I am glad that your dad hired you; you are a wonderful young man. I like your site and the plans God has for you. Dont forget to ask Amanda about blueberry pancakes, ok? Vicky Vanasperen
