April 14/15

I hope you all had a very Happy Easter!  Thank you so much for all your help this Easter Season.

What's next?
One thing we need to remember as the Hospitality Team, is that, if it's our weekend to Usher or Greet, we need to arrive 15 minutes before service to be ready.  Many times new people arrive early for service, because it's their first time.  It's so important there is someone holding a door at that time and passing them a bulletin.  

Also on that note...if you are on the Welcome Cart and can not make it........please let someone know.  If you don't know what the welcome cart schedule is I will e-mail you one.  That schedule does not change.  

The welcome cart has become a very important place for people to connect when they are new.  

When you're there please be available to all the new faces.  

We will still be giving out mugs.  They were a big hit this past weekend...and I have more! =)

NO COOKIES AT THE BACK DOOR THIS WEEKEND.

The children will be raising money for their camp trips by selling donuts at the back door.  Please let people in the front know about this!  The kids will be going to the Warren Willis Camp which is a fantastic Christian camp where they can experience new friendships, and the love of Jesus!
