St. John’s Evangelism Ministry Team will host a Name Tag Sunday on Rally day to help all visitors and members feel this special friendliness, St. John’s style. Below are five steps to offering a heartfelt welcome to all:
1. Speak to the other person first using their name. Don’t wait for him or her to take the initiative. Make a note of their name so you can greet them by name next time you see them. Remember, saying a person’s name makes him feel welcome and appreciated.
2. If there is someone you don’t know, introduce yourself to him or her.
3. Be pleasant in words and expressions. A great church cannot be built with frowns.
4. Guide newcomers to the worship service and then to any fellowship event after worship and introduce them to other members.
5. Encourage people to participate in those church activities that interest them.
