Thank you for serving faithfully as a greeter!

DOOR GREETER (4 people each Sunday):

• Goal - Ensure Every Person is Greeted. 

• One person will be posted at each door to open the door, smile and welcome people into the foyer.  This is a time to say Hi to people you know & save catching up with them for later. Door Greeters would help direct new people to Engagement Greeter.

• New:  We love it when everyone enjoys visiting in the foyer prior to the start of service but want to help everyone know when its time for the service to start.  So, a few minutes before the start of each service, especially for 2nd service, one greeter should walk around and encourage everyone to head into the sanctuary to get a seat for the start of service .

ENGAGEMENT GREETER (1 or 2 people each Sunday):

• Goal - Ensure New People are Welcomed and Informed by a friendly person who is familiar with the church.

• These people would be attentive to who is coming in the doors and would approach and assist new people or those with questions, and have the freedom to escort them to the sanctuary or children's wing, etc. while door greeters stay at their post.  Door Greeters would help direct new people to them, if possible.

• Engagement Greeters will provide information such as:

  • bathroom location

  • how to sign-up for things

  • get them connected using the Welcome table form or Church Center

  • tell them about groups/activities that pertain to them…Bible studies, Senior’s activities, Children’s programs (SEE THE PAMPHLET ON CHILDREN’S KIOSK)

  • PIC (Person In Charge) will be in foyer most Sundays to help with new families with children.

Scripture Reader

• Scripture to be read is updated weekly on our website’s Sermons page: A link to the ESV version is provided on that page.

• Scripture Reading occurs immediately after worship (typically 3 songs).

• NEW: Please sit as close as possible to the front of the sanctuary and IMMEDIATELY following the close of the last song in the worship set bein walking up to the podium (We want as little “dead” time as possible)

• Please use the mic next to the podium or one handed to you. Please hold mic 3-6 inches from mouth. Feedback occurs when mic is too far from mouth, not too close. Thanks!

• Please respect the pastor's time and not lengthen the scripture reading time. Please only read the scripture.

• REMINDER - After you are finished reading the scripture please announce “you may be seated”.
