GREETERS
. . . if you
welcome good and godly people because of their godliness, you will be
given a reward like theirs. (Matthew 10:41)
A
Greeter is often the first person we meet on the way into church,
perhaps the only person with whom we have a chance to chat, and the one
who wishes us well as we depart, prepared to live our faith during the
week ahead.
Greeters
are present outside church to welcome newcomers and enable them to find
their way; they are there to greet regular parishioners and help them
feel at home; they are there to give directions, provide handouts, and
be Christ's welcoming embrace to all who come to worship God and be fed
at the Table of the Lord.
At
Our Lady of Refuge, our Adopt-a-Door program needs families and
individuals to volunteer for the ministry of Greeter at all weekend
Masses. It's easy and enjoyable: Greeters arrive 20 minutes before Mass,
don their badges, smile, and GREET friends, fellow parishioners and
newcomers.
At
the end of Mass, Greeters once again stand near their adopted doors,
hand out materials if necessary, and wish everyone well in the week
ahead. We need Greeters who are teens, young adults, families with
children, Senior Citizens, and everyone in between.
