Advent and Christmas are on the way and most of our worshipping communities will be welcoming people who may not often come to church.
Some of these people may be on the fringes of our worshipping communities, some may never have been to church before and some may have stopped coming for a while, but felt the need to return.
When people visit or join a church, often, it’s the personal relationships that they make which allow them to decide whether they want to be part of your worshipping community.
They enter the building often feeling uncertain of what to do, where to sit and whether they are even welcome in the church. Kindness, conversation and invitation go a long way towards making people feel at home.
The Revd Canon Dr Sandra Millar shares the impact that a good welcome, or a not so warm welcome, can have on visitors to the church in her blog here →
We’re sharing a simple workbook that you can read, pray over and consider, either on your own or with a small group.
Next time someone new walks through the door or your church, take a deep breath, smile and see where God takes you!
