ON PRAISE TODAY - 25 AUGUST 2019
Nowadays, it takes a brave person to walk into a church building on their own, or to start a conversation about God with a Christian. So, MICHAEL HARVEY thinks it’s vital that we build a culture of invitation, alongside a culture of welcome and of transformation.
On PRAISE today,
he explains how - and why - to do it.
And we’ve been delving into the PRAISE archive and found a talk given by Rabbi Lionel Blue, 21 years ago, when he attended a St John Ambulance celebration in St George’s Church, Douglas
NOTE!
We’ve only time to include part of Rabbi Blue’s talk in PRAISE today BUT you can find the whole of his talk on today’s PRAISE Podcast - available via www.manxradio.com
and on the home page click PODCASTS
Michael Harvey’s website is
and his two books (available via the website) are
Creating a Culture of Invitation
in Your Church
and
Unlocking The Growth
Music on PRAISE today is :
Christ whose glory fills the skies
(Charles Wesley) - The St Michael Singers
and
The Lord Is Present Here
Written and sung by
Graham Kendrick
