LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO SERVE?

We are a busy group. Between careers, family, hobbies, and just life in general there is little time to spare. We are spread so thin that adding another event often seems daunting, yet we know that giving of our time is important, especially to God. If you are looking for a place to serve, but are struggling to find the time, how about coming to church an extra 15 minutes a few Sundays per month, and being a door greeter? Greeters are the first impression of the church, and have the potential to provide comfort and reassurance of God’s love.

What is required of you?
· A smile
· Pass out bulletins
· Wear church attire
· And provide information

Testimony: During my semester in London, I contacted a church via email and within a day, I had a response and someone to sit with at church the next Sunday. When I walked into church that Sunday, I was greeted by multiple smiling faces (and not the fake kind) offering their support and help for me and my “new person” status. I probably looked like a fish out of water, and they knew how to make me feel comfortable. Soon after I was greeted by my church contact, and had a new friend at church. From here I plugged into a bible study and established more friends at the church.

While Connect is a great way for us to build relationships with those our own age, it is also important to help others connect with the church and ultimately Jesus. A greeter is an amazing way to give of your time, your smile and offer someone what Jesus has already given you.
