A Passion For Life Worcester

Invite people two steps: tell them about the event, then ask them later if they are coming. Pray first, pray during, pray after.

1. Tell them (by phone, email, letter, post-it, face-to-face)

- Enclose a flyer or fold-out invite to do the talking – you can download to print or email flyers for the main events from the ‘Events’ page. Don’t point people to this website – it will be information overload, won’t mean much to them and will lose the impact of your personal invitation.

- Ask them to come with you.

- Answer the questions they might have about the event (check out the website for more information about the events, or phone the contact in the fold-out). If you’re not sure, tell them you’ll find out – it’s a good reason to get back to them.

- Give them time to think about it.

- Give them the freedom to say ‘No’.

- Tell them you will get back to see if they can come – keep the ‘ball in your court’.

2. Ask them if they are coming

- Must be personal, face-to-face, or phone

- Take responsibility for your invitation by getting back to see if your potential guest can come.

- Taking the initiative to follow through on your invitation stops the embarrassment for them and you.

- Pray; then GO!

- Don’t put words in their mouth, especially reasons why they shouldn’t come – you invited them!

- Leave the door open for inviting them to future events  – when we’ve heard that people have said ‘no’ to an invite, it’s almost always for a genuine reason and really just ’sorry, I can’t make it this time’.

PRAY first, PRAY during, PRAY after.

Invite your guests to join you for the evening to dine out at the Fusion Brasserie (www.fusionbrasserie.com), just outside Worcester, on Saturday 27th March, 7:30 for 8pm.

We’ve secured a private dining area where you and your guests can enjoy a three course tasting menu and coffee, specially selected for this occasion by the Head Chef at Fusion. Click this link to view the menu.

Our after dinner speaker for the evening is Paul Hinton and he’ll speak for about 20 minutes on who Jesus is, why he came and what it means to follow him.

Tickets are £12 per head and have been subsidised to ensure this is a high quality event but you could also consider buying tickets for your guests, as you see fit. Drinks are not included but of course are available from the restaurant’s bar area.

We can promise a great atmosphere, excellent food and a challenging and engaging talk from Paul that is tailored to the occasion.

For more information and to book tickets for you and your guests visit the booking table in the Foyer at Woodgreen or call Rachel on 07779 642 680.

Join us at 10:30am on the Sunday morning of Passion for Life Mission week and invite your guests to hear John Mosey at Woodgreen Church.

John’s daughter, Helga, was on the PanAm jumbo jet that was blown up over Lockerbie on December 21, 1988. Through an incredibly difficult time his faith remained strong and amazing things have resulted from this tragedy.

Listen to John speak before Paul Hinton talks about who Jesus is, why he came and what it means to follow him.

This event will include some singing, prayer and reading from the Bible in a similar style to our usual Sunday meetings. All ages are welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed but structured so the children will go to their own activities part way through allowing the adults to listen to John and Paul.

We encourage you and your guests to stay for refreshments after the structured part of our meeting has concluded.

From Tuesday to Friday THIS WEEK, Passion for Life Mission Week, the Woodgreen Church building will be open. You’ll get a warm welcome and coffee and cakes will be served between 10:30am and 12:30pm.

You can drop in and bring a guest or arrange to meet friends for a coffee and a chat. There will be displays about what we are and what we do as a church, a good range of literature and people to chat with for those who want to talk further about what they have heard at an event or service.

We won’t be charging for coffee and cakes but there will be the opportunity to donate.

Bring all the family and join us on Saturday 27th March from 11am to around 1pm for a big screen presentation of the recently released Disney-Pixar film ‘UP’ at Woodgreen Church. (click for directions)

We’ll start with a short talk and introduction from Paul Hinton before we watch the movie together. Popcorn and drinks will be provided for you and your guests but phone Bonnie on 01527 834 962 to let us know how many of you are coming.

Henry will be interviewed by Paul Hinton and Paul will be speaking about who Jesus is, why he came and why we should follow him.

The evening starts at 6:30pm and will finish around 8pm with refreshments afterwards. Tickets are not required.

See our ‘Speakers’ page for more information about Henry and Paul.

Thursday 25th March is  ‘Chocoholics’ night, similar to the very successful guest event we held last year and suitable for women of all ages and your guests.

Bring your guests to enjoy a range of chocolate-based activities and taste experiences throughout the evening which includes a gospel talk from Paul Hinton for about 20-25 minutes.

The evening starts at 7:30pm, finishing around 10pm. Entry is free but you do need to register so we have a good idea of numbers.

Watch this space for updates.
