We are planning a door-to-door visitation programme
using a short survey as our entry point. We will ask people about their
response to ‘Hope Unlimited’ and move on to giving them information about
an Alpha Course and our church activities. Rather than ‘cold-call’ on people,
we will deliver a letter explaining our intention of calling in a few days’
time. If you would like to find out more about our plans and how you could
be involved in visitation or prayer, please join me for a short time (max. 30
mins) after the Service next Sunday. Paul John
