Good morning
and happy Friday!! This day is not what I thought it would be: the flu found
me! So as we cancel plans we’d looked forward to, I am just hoping to make it
though the day.
Meanwhile, I wanted to tell you
about the Welcome Lunch we had at church last Sunday. We do this every year –
to welcome those new since the last lunch. Our deacons prepare all the food and
the staff members share things about the ministries of the church!
We have the newcomers sit with
the deacons who tend to them so they can begin to foster relationships, and after
lunch is over, we give everyone a welcome packet and a tour of the church so
they can know where to find rooms!
It was fun to take them around
the building and let them see the ministries in action! In the past we’ve just
told them about what we do, but this year they got to SEE it.
We had a great attendance, and I
hope everyone felt loved and included by the time they left!
