What Every Church Attender Needs

There are two things that every church attender needs if they are going to stay at your church and you have approximately anywhere from 3-7 months to give it to them or they will leave.

Every person needs 1) Relationship and every person needs 2) Responsibility.

Relationship
At New Day we provide the weekend service, small groups (coming first week of October '09), and occasional church events (i.e. potluck bbq) as opportunities for relationships to be built.

Responsibility
At New Day we have a wide variety of serving opportunities such as setting up sound equipment, setting up kids church, info table, signage, bulletin assembly, worship team, people counters, camera person, sound person, computer person, emcee, ushers, money counters, greeters, check in & check out people for kids church, teachers for kids church, volunteers for kids church, tear down crew, van drivers, etc. You won't be at New Day too long before you're asked to use your gifts in the context of the local church through serving.

If people are going to stay they have to have both relationship and responsibility. May God help us to think of creative ways to provide His people with what they need.
