What order do you become welcoming?

The following is a ecclesiastical case of the chicken and the egg.

Which one comes first?

Do you see the group you want to especially desire to welcome first? 

Or do you announce that you’re welcoming to a group who, as of yet, have remained absent?

Do you see a bunch of young families intermittently attending your church - but not staying - and subsequently identify the need to be especially “welcoming”?

Or do you never see a young family darken the doors of your church, so you announce that you’re now participating “welcoming” to young families?

Is can happen for almost every demographic…

Divorcees. Widows. Teenagers. LGBTQIA+. Young adults.

Do you see the need or do you announce the desire first?
