Our mission
is to be welcoming and informative to visitors. To make people feel they
are among friends in Christ.
Arrive 15
minutes before the service begins.

a warm handshake
your name tag

Parking Lot
Greeters - Watch for elderly needing help getting out of their car,
assist if needed. Greet everyone with a “Good Morning”. Hold front door
open for those needing help. If it’s raining, assist with umbrella found
inside front door.
Nametag
Station Greeter - Greet those unfamiliar faces with “Hi, My name is
Sally. I don’t believe we’ve met. Is this your first time to visit
Monticello? Let me make a nametag for you.” (Sticky nametags are found
in the basket below the nametag board.) Tell them to leave their nametag
in the basket after service and we will print them a permanent one on
the computer for their next visit. If this is their first visit, hand
them a mug and tell them how happy you are that they are visiting our
church. There are lanyards available for those not wishing to clip name
tag on clothes.
All Greeters -
Be prepared to answer questions if needed or find someone who will.
Introduce them to someone else in the congregation and go back to the
door. Don’t follow them to the pew. They want to be left alone once they
sit down.
Greeters
make everyone in God’s house feel welcome and appreciated.
