Our church was designated several years ago as an outstanding welcoming congregation and we have been so very true to this compliment especially during the last two or three months of 2016.
During this time that we had an unusually high number of first-time as well as returning visitors at our Sunday Worship Services. So, if you find that you are sitting next to a newcomer, please invite them to an activity at our church, offer to escort them into Berg Hall where they may speak to a church member at the Visitors Information Table and where they may view our newly organized bulletin boards replete with descriptions of the many activities we have to offer.
As the new year begins, please wear your nametag, display your “Co-exist” bumper magnet, if you have one, and continue to be as welcoming as you have always been.
