Greeter Training for Worship ServiceSunday August 169:45 am – 10:30 amGreeter Training for Worship Service
You are invited to attend a training session that will explore the way we welcome others and extend hospitality but also how to do it more intentionally and effectively. All individuals who have volunteered to be worship greeters are invited but also any and all members of the St. Andrew’s community are welcomed as well. Creating a community that is truly welcoming, where people (both visitors and members) experience hospitality takes all of us.
