6 Goals of a Church Greeter

Every Sunday, I see commentary on Twitter about:

Joy at serving as a church greeter.
Complaints about experiences with rude church greeters.
Sarcasm aimed at unprepared greeters at church.
Nervous greeters announcing how nervous they are.
Comments that are generally inappropriate for church greeters to make.

How to Say the Welcome Greeting at a church

Imagine that you are a lay person in your congregation (many of you are).

Your pastor calls you on Thursday and says

We are preparing the church bulletin.
Would you like to be our liturgist and give the welcome speech on Sunday?
Would you like to be person who says “Welcome to our church?”

Your heart races, the mouth goes dry.

You think:

Me? I have to say something in front of all those people?
