Most often, a Greeter is the first human contact a parishioner or a visitor makes when entering the worship space. Does the person entering see the face of Jesus in the face of the Greeter? Is the Greeter friendly and interested in the person entering? Receiving a word of welcome, encouragement, reassurance, or a gesture of kindness is a significant part of a positive church experience.
Greeters welcome the worshippers, give them bulletins, provide information, take up the collection and count the worshippers. Schedules are flexible and the time commitment is light.
