Visitor Host Program
Visitor hosts help identify visitors and make them feel more
welcome. New volunteers are always welcome. Call
Tina Smith, 261-6030, or
Lisa Miller, 331-8655, for more
information.
Duties:
Before service
- Turn light on cross at name-tag stand.
- Each person take a different door. We probably need four at
11 a.m., two at 8:30 and two at 5:30. Ask each person who enters if he or she
needs help finding a name tag. If you find yourself working with greeters who
are not visitor hosts also, make sure you ask each person if they need help.
(Babies will have tags that can used whenever parents want.)
- Help those who ask.
- If no, let them know that they can choose to wear them or
not, but mention that we will be reading them when we distribute communion.
- If visitor, ask if you can write one for them.
- Give visitors a visitors packet and newsletter, then ask
them to sign the guest book.
- Ask visitors if they would like a tour of the church after
the service. If so, agree to meet them.
- Offer to answer any questions.
During service
- Try to position yourself near visitors in case they need
help through the service.
After service
- We need one host to stand slightly behind pastor and at
least one to stand at the door with baskets to collect name tags from people
who forgot to put them away. (At 11 a.m., we need one by pastor, one by the
lay assistant and two at the doors.) Please start heading toward back doors
during the last hymn so that you can get out in front of everyone else.
- Put name tags away after everyone leaves.
- The host assisting Pastor will jot down phone
numbers, take notes or get information from elsewhere in the church, using the
spiral notebook provided.
- Give tours of church if requested and answer questions.
