On Easter Sunday, you will probably see people at your church that you have seldom, if ever, seen there. Many of these will be hurting – homes lost, jobs lost, debts. Maybe your church is planning secial music, drama, and a special message. What about reaching these people in need? How will you get these back the next Sunday?
