Open House is a one or two week promotion that covers the format, expectations and tools for Tool Box. Some Churches benefit from a Churchwide advertisement for Open House. If that is the case, consider showing one or both of the following videos.
Some Churches benefit from personal invitations directly to Tool Box. If that's the case, Open House is not necessary.
There may be a significant drop off from those who attend the Open House to those who proceed to Tool Box. That is not a bad thing. Open House helps people decide if they are ready to become multipliers.
End the session of Open House with a five-minute restroom break. Ask those interested in continuing to Tool Box to rejoin the group in five minutes. This provides a natural exit for those not interested. Be ready for attrition. It's better to lose people now.
