1 Methodists Launch
Attendance Campaign
The First Methodist Church has
launched an attendance campaign
from now until Easter It is calling
upon its membership to come for-
ward and help make the church a
real dynamic force In the life of
the community.
The church today has the mes-
sage the world is longing for The
church has the only message of
hope for a confused world.
Attendance of the members at
the worship service is basic to an
effective total church program
Every phase of church activity
finds Its life and inspiration in this
focal point of spiritual power.
Church attendance is the baro-
meter of church life. It is likewise
the thermostat that determines the
spiritual atmosphere
Here are Just a few reasons why
we should attend church regularly:
1. The stress of modern life
demands resources that are
beyond ourselves. These may
be found through worship.
2. My family and neighbors
will be influenced by my ex-
ample.
3 The church provides
Christian fellowship.
4. Church ajtendance gives
one a sense of doing right be-
fore Ood.
3. The church stands for
righteousness against all evil
forces
6 The church alone provides
the services I need In the in-
evitable crises of life.
7. The church provides reli-
gious training for children
You will find a most hearty wel-
come when you worship.
Attend the church of your choice,
but attend.
