- Put on your name tag.
- Introduce yourself to the Ushers and let them know you are there.
- Greeters stand in the vestibule.
- Greeters should take first time visitors and show them where to hang up their coats.
- Ask them to spell their name and you should make a temporary nametag for the visitor.
- Explain that typically people talk in the Sloop Room for a few minutes until the bell rings, when people then go into the sanctuary.
- Point to where the bathroom is located.
- During coffee hour, talk with newcomers—and anyone else who is standing alone. Introduce yourself, discover their interests, be a good listener. Suggest congregation activities they may want to explore, and introduce them to others with common interests. Introduce them to the minister too.
