Open Brainstorms

Have a Celebration with the help of the congregation in supplies and food once a month to your service. If they don't come for the service they will definitely come for the food then be their friend and get to know them.

start social groups for members such as 'baby boomer group', 20's-30's etc., and maybe this will draw more people in knowing they have a community within the church they can get involved with.
