That’s a good question!

Expect that the people you see will be friendly, but they won’t “attack” you. If you chat with them, they will chat with you. There are new people here all the time…so no one will be staring at you.

if you tell someone you’re new be prepared for them to give you a tour. We love to show off the ministry, because God is really blessing it.

 

You should be greeted by a volunteer somewhere around the front door. If you need help getting into the building, or parking your car they will help you. Inside the front door is the lobby, where people gather and have a cup of coffee, or chat with friends before the service. There will be adults and teens hanging around talking (kind of a busy atmosphere). There is a place for Children to sign into the Sunday school located in the lobby, look for the sign on the wall. Announcements will be playing on the TV screen, and the Praise Team will sing a song to let everyone know the service is about to begin. Restrooms are in the back of the lobby.

 

During the service everyone is encouraged to fill out a connection card. The card is in your bulletin, which will be handed to you by a greeter as you walk into the sanctuary. Say “Hi” to the greeters as you walk in. They are always super friendly, positive people. The card has a place for prayer requests, comments, responses and some personal information. If you feel comfortable, leave your name and phone, or email. We appreciate it. It makes us feel better when we can say “thanks for being our guest.” Connection cards should be dropped into the offering plate when it is passed through the aisle.

 

You should find the people sitting around you to be friendly. Chances are some of them are fairly new here as well. Don’t assume that everyone you see has been here for years, there are always new families.
