Hospitality

Hospitality is one of those words that means so many things like; welcoming, kindness, generosity, warmth, etc. and those things are certainly involved in what we do. However, in practical terms, what we do and how you can be involved can be described more specifically.

  • Our committee like so many others is about building community between all of us. Hospitality is what you see from the moment you enter church. We’re responsible for those who welcome and greet you as well as the Ushers.

  • We’re responsible for coordinating activities that bring us together so we can get to know one another better. These include things like movie nights, fellowship dinner, scrambled 6 dinner parties (look for what this is in the Sandpiper), picnic’s etc. All are geared to help us build community with one another.

  • Lastly, we’re not only responsible for new member/inquirers classes but finding ways to help ensure that each person within our church community, member as well as non-member, has the opportunity to be nurtured and connected to others within the church.
