CENTRAL NAME TAGSWe encourage you to wear thename tags that are stationed inthe Crossing near the 22nd
Avenue entrance. We havemany first time visitors &returning visitors. The name
tags are a great tool to help our community of faithwelcome our visitors. Our community of faith is growingand we want to become a close-knit family. One way todo that is by knowing the name of your church familymember sitting next to you or the neighboring familymember sitting across the room during greeting time!I will be wearing my name tag on Sunday...will you? Kristina(If you do not have a name tag, please let someoneknow at the Welcome Desk or call the church office at601.693.1521 to request one.)
GREETERSGreetings in the Name of the Lord! There is somethingso peaceful when those words are spoken to oneanother. But what's even more welcoming and peacefulis when you walk through the church doors and thereis someone greeting you with a warm smiling face. Thegreeters have one responsibility-to show the love ofChrist through a warm smile and a kind welcome.That's it! If you have been pondering a way that youcould serve the Lord and have not put your finger on itjust yet...put that finger down on being a greeter. Or ifyou like a challenge...be challenge in showing the Loveof Christ to one another. If you would like to be ag r e e t e r , p l e a s e c o n t a c t K r i s t i n a a [email protected] or call her at the church office601.693.1521.
