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.
We are so happy that you have chosen to join us for worship on this Fifth Sunday of Lent, and we wanted to be sure to greet you today!
Like you, I feel a greater sense of anticipation as we draw closer to the beautiful day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
As Jesus drew closer to that day, He knew that while the resurrection would be a day of great victory, the cross would be first. He shared this with His disciples from time to time about this fact, yet they didn't understand what was about to happen.
We want to take this opportunity to welcome you to church on this sixth and final Sunday of Lent!
Today is also Palm Sunday, and as you know, it was the day that Jesus was welcomed into the city of Jerusalem with palm branches and praises! They were trusting this would finally be the grand entry for the Messiah who would lead them out from under the iron fist of Roman rule.
Zechariah 9:9 (NKJV) 9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to our Sweetheart Valentine's Banquet for the year of (YEAR)!
We are looking forward to a great time together tonight as we enjoy a great meal together and following the meal, a brief program you will enjoy!
While we have faced many challenges over the past few years, isn't it good to know that God sees it all? He has promised that He would never leave us or forsake us, and for that, we should be full of thanksgiving!
We are so glad you have chosen to join us today as we worship the Lord together and have fellowship!
The Bible says this in James 5:16; “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
We are so glad you have chosen to join us today as we worship the Lord together and have fellowship!
The House of God is such a special place to be. You may have heard people refer to a church congregation as “the body of Christ.” This is because the bible explains us each as individual members of one whole body.
