Quotes from David:
If I'd never been to church before, the meet & greet time would push me out rather than draw me in.
Treat every Sunday as a new Sunday. Every person at your church could be a visitor.
We should put ourselves in the seat of a visitor who maybe doesn't know the Bible as well as we do.
If I'm not an extrovert, I do not want to stand up and be forced to talk to people.
