We’re Glad You’re Here! We invite all worshipers to sign the red Friendship Pad that is at the end of each pew and pass it down your row. Prayer requests may be listed on the yellow pew cards. Pass them to the inside aisle for collection during the first hymn.
Is This Your First Visit with Us? We have gifts for first-time worshipers on the Welcome Table in the Narthex (foyer). Ushers can provide large print hymnals and hearing devices. Ask them for a Kid’s Pack and Children’s Bulletin as well as directions to the Nursery, or to our Family Room in the balcony.
We want to learn your name. Please use a sticky nametag that you will find in the red books. You can request a clip-on nametag by filling out a pink form located along the wall in the Narthex. You may also email the office, [email protected], and we’ll make one for you!
