Welcoming Ministry – Looking for Sunday Morning Greeters
St. George's is revitalizing our Welcoming Ministry! We are looking for volunteers to serve as Greeters for the 10 am service. Serving as a greeter can be a simple and fun way to help us create a vibrant community here at St. George's. The primary responsibilities of the greeter are welcoming people at the front door; making sure people have bulletins and service booklets; and seeing that newcomers receive a welcome kit and are introduced to the VPOD for the day. A signup sheet for Greeters will be in the narthex. If you have questions or would like more information, please talk to Ali Oliver-Krueger or Zulma Santiago. Thank you!
