Don't you just love the creative and easy ways, that some very talented members of the Church, are helping us to share the Gospel with our friends! One of the first things that we should do, as soon as one of our friends shows a little interest in learning more about the LDS Church (besides sharing a Book of Mormon with them) is invite them to a Mormon Church Service. To you and I, this may not seem like such a big deal.
Here' a great way to invite your friends, who may be a little bit apprehensive about attending a Mormon Church Service, to come with you. In these situations, some of their reservations about going to Church with you, could simply be that they just don't know what to expect! After all, they have most likely heard that we ARE a peculiar people. I'm mean, look at YOU! LOL
Consider sending via email, this simple video Attending a Mormon Church Service. It's really well done, and will explain everything to your investigator in "plain English". After watching this video, your friends will likely be much more positive and comfortable going to Church with you.
The most important part about inviting our friends to come to a Mormon Church Service, is preparation. The more our friends know what to expect when they come with us, the better chances are, that they will have a positive experience when they do come.
The more comfortable they are in our meetinghouses, the more likely the Spirit can touch their hearts.

I just love these Mormon Made Simple videos. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI found that video very informative. I wish I had seen it before I attended my first mormon church service. I made the mistake of only staying for the initial sermon. Being alone and believing that the classes were just for church members I only stayed an hour sadly.

ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to comment on the video, and for letting us know how helpful it would have been for you, to see this, before attending your first Mormon Church Service:-)

my boyfriend who is 16 and im 15 just asked me to prove i wanted to be with him by asking me to come to a church service with him! i am soooo scared and i had no idea what to do. this video helped a little but im still terrified!
ReplyDeleteWhile serving as an online missionary from the Provo MTC I share this video with non members all the time who's member friends were stumped about how to explain what church is like. Most of my investigators weren't surprised by much at church after watching this.
ReplyDeleteHi Elder Moxley!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing of the good work our "official" missionaries are doing online to share the gospel.
My son was just called to serve in the Texas McAllen Mission and will report to the Provo MTC March 16th. We are thrilled!
Keep up the good work:)
