Inviting Grace:
Gentle Evangelism
and Radical Hospitality
This multi-faceted compilation of resouces leads your congregation in exploring evangelism, moving beyond unhelpful preconceptions and allowing participants to embrace a definition and practice of sharing the Good News that is authentic to who they are. Each component can be used as a “stand-alone” unit, or it may be used in its entirety as a year-long program. Inviting Grace utilizes parish meetings, study groups, formation classes, workshops and retreats as tools for moving your congregation toward being a more open, inviting and welcoming community.
Includes: Retreats, three adult education programs and other program elements that can be used in multiple ways.
This resource is a downloadable file – permission is granted to the purchasing church to make as many copies as needed to implement the program. A PDF file is provided for printing and a WORD document file is provided for you to customize the resource.
 Research shows that if someone visits your church and you follow-up with a very brief (3-5 minute) home visit with a small gift, you increase the likelihood of that person returning the next week by about 80%! The Episco-Bear is a perfect gift. It is warm and friendly and it is a presence in the visitor's home that reminds them of your church. This adorable bear is also a great gift for the newly baptized. And the caps and t-shirts can subtly promote your church while providing people an reason to ask about the Episcopal shield, thus providing members an opportunity to tell them about your church.
