A good church greeting, or church welcome can have a number of values. Here are a few:
Hospitality: A warm and friendly greeting can make visitors feel welcome and accepted at a church. This can be especially important for those who may be new to the church or who may be visiting for the first time.
Community: Greetings can help to create a sense of community and belonging within the church. By actively reaching out and greeting others, church members can show that they care about each other and are invested in building relationships.
Inclusivity: A welcoming greeting can help to create an inclusive and diverse environment within the church. This can be especially important for those who may feel marginalized or excluded in other areas of society.
Evangelism: A friendly greeting can also be an opportunity to share the love of Christ with others. By welcoming people with a warm and open heart, church members can show the love of God to those around them and potentially lead others to a relationship with Jesus.
Overall, a good church greeting, or church welcome can help to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive atmosphere within the church, which can be beneficial for both members and visitors.
For instance, whether it’s a theme of unity, a welcome speech for Easter Sunday, or even a welcome for Christmas Sunday, you are sure to find a greeting template you can easily modify and use!
Courageous Fatherhood.
Moses had led the people to the brink of the Promised Land, yet due to a lapse in his judgment and through disobedience to God, he would not be the one to lead them into the land.
A time for leadership change had come, and Joshua was now leading the people. One can only begin to imagine how difficult this was for Joshua, as well as the people. Change in leadership is challenging for everyone, but following a legend of a leader is difficult on another level!
Welcome to (NAME OF CHURCH)!
Today is Pentecost Sunday which is a significant day to remember and appreciate in the history of the church. The word “Pentecost” basically means “50”, and is doubly significant when one realizes that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon those early believers who were waiting in the upper room as they waited in obedience and expectancy.
Welcome to Church!
We are so glad you've joined us today for worship, and whether you're a long-time member or first-time visitor, we pray the service blesses you!
Mark 1:1-8 (NKJV) 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” 3 “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.' ” 4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
We are thrilled to have so many with us today who are the first to respond to our call in times of need. While we hope we never have to make that call, it's always comforting to know that help is a matter of minutes away. There have been a few times over the years we've even had to call for help even after gathering here for Church on a Sunday.
We want to welcome you to this very special service today in which we will take some time to recognize and appreciate our Pastor(s). All of us are so grateful to the Lord for blessing us with solid and steady leadership! We believe it is quite Biblical to recognize our leadership in this manner.
The Bible tell us in 1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.
While we know our ultimate reward is in Heaven one day, it's quite clear that honor is something that can (and should) be given while we are here on this earth.
