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.
What a joy it is to gather together to worship on this very special weekend when we recognize and appreciate… work!
It seems that we often lose sight of this weekend as many people simply view it as the final weekend of Summer vacations as school is once again in session. Others may see it as another weekend of cookouts and a day off to celebrate work! (Seems almost ironic doesn't it?)
Well, as we gather to worship today, let's be sure to take a few moments to appreciate the employment we have! Of course, we realize there is really no such thing as “the perfect job” as there are challenges and difficulties that accompany anything that is worthwhile.
We are so glad that you have chosen to worship with us today on this weekend that we look back and celebrate our freedom as Americans!
Someone rightfully said one time that freedom isn't free. Those of us who have lived in America for any period of time recognize that truly this is the case. Men and women have given their lives over the years so that you and I can enjoy the freedom we know, as well as the freedom to be here today to worship God together.
Welcome to (NAME OF CHURCH)! We are so glad you have chosen to worship with us this week!
We take time to appreciate and celebrate our independence and freedom as a Nation. What a privilege it is to be able to gather together to worship God without fear of Government intervention. This is a right we enjoy and should always do our best to protect and defend it, especially in a day when our rights are being challenged more and more.
We are thrilled that you have joined us today as we gather together to worship our risen Savior, Jesus Christ!
Without a doubt, the resurrection of Christ is an event that validated the life and ultimate crucifixion of the Lord. If He had been placed in the tomb and stayed there, He would have gone down in history as another “good man” who helped many people but in the end, could not help Himself.
We wanted to extend a warm welcome to you today as we once again gather for a time of worship and appreciation to our Savior for what He has done, and WILL do for us.
We are thrilled to have you with us today and while many people around the world settle back into their custom of attending church on Christmas and Easter, isn't it great to celebrate the risen Savior each and every day?
