Why Go?: “Back to Church Sunday” is a national movement of churches to encourage former church people to rediscover church and try it again. According to LifeWay Research, 38 percent of people are receptive or highly receptive to attending church. Eighty-two percent say they would be open to attending church if a friend invited them. But, unfortunately only two percent of active church-going Christians invited someone to church last year! Sts. Raphael, Nicholas, and Irene Greek Orthodox Church is joining with thousands of churches to help change those statistics by inviting everyone to attend church on Sunday, Sept. 18,  at 10 a.m.
