Have you ever attended a new church for the first time? Do you remember what it felt like? May-
be you were nervous or curious, or just unsure. One of the things that we’ve always prided our-
selves on is being a welcoming church and one of the things that is important to being welcom-
ing is having friendly greeters for our worship services. We have been woefully short on greeters
recently and are hoping that you’ll volunteer to take a Sunday. All you have to do is show up 15
minutes before your regular worship service, stand at the front door, and welcome those who
come through our doors! Please stop by the Welcome Center and sign up to greet. It’s a great
opportunity to get to know people and your time & efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
