We are putting the finishing touches on all our preparations for our “God on Film” series and I thought I would share a few ideas with you today to spark some thoughts on how you can make a bigger impact this summer. If you don’t plant in the Summer you will beg in the Fall.

We do a series each summer entitled “God on Film,” where we choose 7 or 8 of the summer’s biggest movies and address the spiritual issues that each one raises.

The entire series is titled and branded as “God on Film,” but we will address 7 or 8 unique, standalone topics over the course of the series.  By doing so, we’re able to attract new people, keep our regulars attending in spite of their vacation plans and help people grow in 7 or 8 different areas over the summer.

This is one of our most attractional series of the year and we capitalize on that by providing easy tools for our church members to invite their friends. Two tools that are extremely effective for that are:

1. The Invite Card – Here’s a sample of the quarter page invite. We also did these as a business card size handouts. This simple tools are easy to print and make it easier for people to invite.

2. Movie Ticket Giveaway – The second thing we do is to provide FREE movie tickets to all First Time Guests AND the person who invited them on our first Sunday of the God on Film Series.

Remember that people don’t do what they should do, they do what is urgent.

Attaching a free ticket giveaway to the launch of this series really pushes for your guests come for the first time at the front of the series but it also gives the motivation that your regular attenders need to make the invite.

We are anticipating June 10th to be one of the highest attended days of the year in our New York Campuses as well as in Boca Raton, Florida.

What can you do this Summer to make a difference? How can you plant seeds NOW so you don’t have to beg in the Fall?
