At the end of the service, we want to invite people to come to one of two locations to get more connected.
First time here? Come to the Welcome Area up front where we have a gift for you and would like to briefly greet you.
Been here before but have questions or want to get better connected? Go to the Connection Corner area in the back of the Worship Center.
Connection Corner:
10:40/12:10 - Turn on the light! Check to make sure you have welcome packets and info cards in case newcomers come. Make sure the computer is on and the gracearlington.com website is up.
If a 1st time newcomer comes to the Connection Corner please do not send them to the Welcome Area. Greet them and give them a gift (shirt, etc…) and answer any questions they may have. Then please send an email to jonathan@gracearlington.com with the name and email of the newcomer and that they went to Connection Corner.
Welcome Area:
10:40/12:10 - Be in the hallway outside the men’s baptismal and waiting for the service to end.
10:42/12:12 - As Gary closes move to the Welcome area and as he begins to pray, get ready to turn on the lamp. Gary often does it by remote but if that doesn’t work be ready to turn it on.
When someone comes, offer them a water bottle and give them a welcome packet, whybeinvolved card, Grace Cafe family coupon, and a Quarterly (usually in a bag all ready to go for you). Everyone in the family also gets a Grace newcomer shirt.
I always point newcomers towards the next Discovering Grace class or the next Introduction to Grace meeting if they don't have an interest in a particular ministry or group to connect with.
If they registered their kids in AdventureLand we only need their name and email for follow-up as everything is in Realm. If they didn’t register children we need a newcomer card.
Please collect the newcomer cards and place them in the offering box. They will be collected and distributed for follow-up.
When you leave turn off the lamp (1st service especially).
