It’s the Monday after Easter and you work at a church.
What do you today, and what should you do this week?
Two words: Follow up.
Make this week all about follow-up—following up with those who attended, those who donated money, those who made decisions and those who served.
Here are a few ideas on how to follow up with four important groups of people.
1. Attenders.
If you’ve written a form letter and are planning to send a copy to every guest, stop the presses. You don’t read form letters; guests who visit your church won’t either. Instead, send a personal, handwritten thank-you note.
Include a very small card with your website address or a little bit of information about the next message series, but make your follow-up personal.
If you had a bunch of guests, get your staff, youth group, volunteer team or family to write these all at one time. You don’t have to have it done by today, but do it within a week.
