WELCOME !

Welcome Committee Charter

As Christ welcomes all of us with open arms, the Parish embraces everyone we encounter with a warmth and enthusiasm that reflects His love.  The Welcome Committee strives to strengthen our Christian community by engaging visitors, new members and existing parishioners alike, transforming them from strangers into friends and inspiring them to use their gifts from God.  To this objective, the Committee will:

• Greet everyone who enters the church doors in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Foster an inclusive, vibrant and active faith community. 
• Invite new members into the parish. Encourage registration and active participation in parish life.  Serve as a resource for questions about the Parish and community.
• Organize social activities for new and existing members of the Parish. Work to strengthen relationships among Parishioners.
• Help Parishioners respond to God’s call to share our gifts in building up the Christian community. Act as a liaison to other ministry groups.
• Listen to the needs, concerns and hopes of those in the community. Work with other ministry groups to develop new and innovative outreach activities.
