The Ministry of Welcome
About
There is an old saying that “you cannot create a first impression twice”, and so it is with any community, any parish. A visitor’s or a new parishioner’s view of the community around them is significantly shaped by the presence or absence of a welcoming atmosphere when they enter a church for the first time. Although the Ministry of Welcome, extends to all members of the community, a special responsibility falls on those who have come forward, or feel called, for this Ministry – very often the first people that a stranger will meet or speak to when entering the church for the first time – and you cannot create a first impression twice.Come and join this session to learn through sharing and fellowship how we can ensure a warm and "safe" welcome to all who enter our churches, whether new or seasoned church members - both in a practical and spiritual way. All are welcome! Please bring your own lunch.
Led by Hazel Pudney, Warden for Lay Ministry ALM (Worship & Liturgy) and Churchwarden at Holy Trinity Church, Bosham.
