  2. Boundry around this short session • Talking about a curious visitor in your area alighting on your church gathering. • Not always a traditional setting. • Not intended to be ‘theological’ although you can look at: • 2 Cor 4v6..Let your light shine in darkness….Matt 5v16 as well. • Romans12….we have different gifts

Be aware….. • Jesus said “let the children come”…don’t get in the way! • Barriers, obstacles and impediments • Things that make it hard for people to engage with the message. • How do we really welcome strangers? • It is a gift…not everyone is good at it! • It says a lot about the consistency of our message.

  6. The car showroom • Modern • Light and airy • Greeters • Coffee, brochures, displays. • Intuative • TV, toys, soft furniture • The whole family experience.
