As a greeter, we encourage you to do the following:
-
Be present approximately 15-20 minutes before the service begins.
-
Locate yourself centrally (by the information area) so you can greet attendees coming in from both the north and south entrances.
-
Smile and warmly greet anyone who enters the narthex.
Remember, you are the first face that a person sees when they enter our church. Smile and be friendly to all who enter. -
Offer comments such as, “Good morning, we’re glad you’re here!” Use their name if you know it.
-
If you do not recognize someone, do not be afraid to introduce yourself by saying something like, “I don’t believe I’ve met, I’m ……..” .
-
Remain in the narthex until the service begins. Often there are late arrivals and we went to be sure they are welcomed also.
Remember the offering of a friendly “Hello” or “Good Morning” can be one of the most impressive things that a person will remember about their worship experience at Ascension.
