“Back to Church Sunday,” part of a national movement of churches across America, will be held at First Christian Church in Sullivan at 10 AM September 20. Everyone is welcome to attend.

National Back to Church Sunday (www.BackToChurch.com) is an initiative to “Invite America Back to Church.” It seeks to reach the “un-churched” and “de-churched” – people who have never attended church, or who once attended church but don’t any more – and invite them to return on a special Sunday. In 2013, a Gallup survey stated that 87% of people believe in God. Yet only 27% of those surveyed attended church in the last 7 days. Additional research reveals that although many people who don’t attend church say they would if invited by a friend, only 2% of Christians ever invite someone to church.

Pastor Grant Wade notes, “Back to Church Sunday is a wonderful opportunity for those in our community to connect or reconnect with a local church. There are many churches in Sullivan and I encourage folks to find one that fits who they are.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
