Jesus is the reason to invite people to Sunday School every week, not just in December. Why? First, Sunday School is a powerful took in helping people accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. Pastors tell me 50-100% of lost people who attend Sunday School for a year get saved. Second, Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. Because Sunday School is organized in age groups, there is a group responsible to pray for, care for, invite, and share with every person in the community.
But Christmas gives us additional special reasons to invite. Consider the following:
- FELLOWSHIPS. Classes frequently enjoy a Christmas party, activity, or project during December. Why not invite a guest to join you and get to know your friends at a class fellowship?
- LESSONS. December often comes with lessons about the special baby whose birth we celebrate. Why not invite a guest to join you?
- REFRESHMENTS. Classes often bring in cake, cookies, and special refreshments during the month. Why not do so as an excuse to fellowship and to include some new friends (prospects)?
- FRIENDS. December is a celebration of relationships with family and friends. Why not invite guests to come meet some of your best friends in class?
- GIVING. Collect money, food, or other items to meet the needs of individuals in the community. Invite guests to join you in giving and preparing the gift,
- MINISTRY. Serve together to help someone in the community. Invite guests to join you in serving and helping.
