spiritual needs or perhaps their situation in life. Whatever their reasons are, God welcomes everyone to His house. I believe the Spirit of God sends people to church, therefore, our Hospitality Team members are the face and the Body of Christ to those He sends our way. We are called to be the seed planters, to prepare the soil for the Holy Spirit to work in and through our visitors. God has entrusted us to be on the front lines. Make no mistake, our Hospitality Teams are critical to shaping the heart- beat of our congregation. If we want to be known in our community as a welcoming/ inviting church, we must set that tone as our guests and visitors enter our doors. This not only applies to our Hospitality Teams, but everyone in our congregation. Regardless of why an individual makes the decision to attend our church, it is God’s desire for us to love them, comfort them, teach them and assist them in any way to help them grow in their faith and discipleship. Please consider being part of this very critical ministry as either a parking lot attendant, greeter, usher, or welcome station volunteer. When we open our doors at our new facility, let’s all work together to extend that special Calvary welcome to all who enter.
