		<description><![CDATA[I particularly like the idea of providing invitations for members of the congregation to use to invite their friends and neighbours.  It seems a way to encourage some of the members who are more shy/nervous at striking up potentially &quot;Christian&quot; conversations with their neighbours to at least get started.

Unfortunately I have no personal experience, as the churches I have belonged to mainly have not seemed to think running special carol services, or inviting the unchurched to Christmas day services, to be of value, but I think that they may be, for all the reasons you suggest.]]></description>
