Here is just a few pointers for when you find yourself rostered onto welcoming.

  1. Arrive at 9:40am for Morning Church and 5:40pm for Night Church.
  2. Find the news sheets (Morning Church - make sure they are folded if they haven't been done already.)
  3. Morning Church - Put witches hats across the driveway. This is a safety thing for the children.
  4. Make sure signs and flags have been put out. 
  5. In the Morning - Stand at the outer glass doors (where you can be seen from the street).
  6. In the Night - Stand in the entry to the BGI (where you can be seen from the street).
  7. Warmly greet people as they arrive and hand out the new sheets.
  8. If they are new, try and introduce them to someone or let them know they can grab a drink before the service. (Morning Church - If they are new and have kids, try and introduce them to one of the Sunday School Leaders - Look for the people in the red shirts.)
  9. Let new people know that church will begin at about 10:10 for Morning Church and 6:10 for Night Church.
  10. Keep at your post near the door until after the welcome and first two songs.
  11. During the last song collect the communication cards and give them to Andrew or the Service Leader.
  12. After church try and say 'Hello' to anyone who was new that you met at the door.
