Greetings . . .

Hospitality - ". . . the act of friendship shown a visitor"

Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:13

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:8-9

. . . since God so loved us we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11


As the Body meets, we often enter the church doors weary and dusty from the dirt and grime this world so anxiously kicks up at us. We are grateful for the love, hospitality, and welcome we exerience from each other while coming to be refreshed and renewed by the Word. Our First Contact greeters are the first with the opportunity to welcome and minister the Lord's love in this way to those entering the fellowship.

Please pray for those serving the Body in our First Contact ministry and Dale Schmidt who oversees it:
  • Pray that fruit would grow as they minister by greeting in a loving, personable, and friendly way.
  • Pray that the Body would be sincerely cared about by those greeting.
  • Pray that the greeters would have a true desire to reach out and get to know those coming to the fellowship.
