The #1 question church leaders ask is

Alpha USA is always

looking for ways to

better serve you. This

Easter, we recommend

giving your church

guests Nicky Gumbel’s

outreach booklet, Why

Easter? , as well as

inviting them to your

next Alpha course.

“How can we attract more guests to our Alpha Course?”

Here is our suggestion:• Between now and Easter, ask your congregation to begin praying for

individuals they would like to invite to your church Easter Service. You can use the Alpha Prayer Card to help; download it for free at www.alphausa.org/prayercard.

• Order Why Easter? booklets and Alpha Course Invitations to have on hand at your Easter Service. You can find Invitations at www.alpharesources.org under the ”Promote your Course” section.

• A week or two before Easter, prepare your Easter Service welcome packs; in them include the Why Easter? booklet and an invitation to your Alpha Course.

• Ask members to pass along a welcome pack to each guest they brought with them to your Easter service.

• Watch God work with the seeds you planted as guests arrive to your next Alpha Course.

Many people are puzzled about Jesus. It would seem that after 2,000 years interest would be less but Jesus was no ordinary man. Why Jesus? is a great outreach tool for those wanting to share the Gospel.

It presents Jesus in a warm and effective way, even allowing the reader to make a commitment at the end of the booklet by guiding the reader through a prayer for believers. This booklet is a great giveaway in the hands of believers to start the conversation with their friends.

Why Jesus? is: Clear Concise A fun read

What is your church’s approach to marriage preparation? Do you have a course to take couples through?

Alpha USA’s “The Marriage Preparation Course” can help couples begin building a lifelong, happy marriage even before they say ‘I do’. Investing in a relationship before

marriage will reap rewards for years to come.

“The Marriage Prep Course is an incredible ‘entry point’ for loads of unchurched, newly engaged couples. We promoted it at a booth during a recent Bridal Show in town. It was utterly amazing—probably the most missional activity that my wife Susie

and I have been a part of in the last year!”

Justin & Susie Kastner, Church Planter & Pastor at Trinity Canton (Churches for the Sake of Others.) Manhattan, Kansas.

“The future of society passes through the family. If this statement is true, then we must do all in our power to strengthen the family, both inside and outside the church. We here at Truro Anglican Church love using the Marriage Course and Marriage Prep

Course to reach out with Christ’s love for the sake of families in our community.”

Rev Tory Baucum, Rector, Truro Anglican Church, Fairfax, Virginia.
