For many of us, August is a season of new beginnings. Families are returning from their vacations, children are preparing for a new school year and worship attendance at church begins to return to pre-summer levels. It is also when some savy church leaders begin planning their fall stewardship campaigns. This a great time to start fresh with a new Sunday school class, small group or other covenant activities that help become better disciples for Christ. Invite new people to come to your church and enhance your congregation's hospitality ministries.
