Greetings friends.... here is a brief recap of our last meeting along with the schedule for future gatherings. We will meet in the Covenant Room this week. The meeting will start as close to 12:15 as possible.
Meeting notes from Jan. 21st:
There was discussion about the Christmas Eve services and how our hospitality team felt it went and what we could change for the next year. A record of attendance was well recorded with the new folders that were put into action.
There was discussion about the Christmas Eve services and how our hospitality team felt it went and what we could change for the next year. A record of attendance was well recorded with the new folders that were put into action.
It was decided that there is a need for some sort of mobile transportation for the attendance folders, specifically for the Sanctuary service. There were several ideas to reduce the number of folders to be carried by one usher:
+ Increase the number of ushers for that service to 6-8 persons to hand out the folders.
+ Have a rolling cart that holds the stacks of folders that is wheeled down the isle as they are passed out.
+ Place a stack of folders at every 6th pew and ushers go to these "holding stations" when it is time to pass them out, cutting down on the amount of folders needed to be carried.
Next scheduled Meetings:
Sunday, Feb. 4th- Review and planning for the next training sessions.
Team members are to try and catch up on their phone calling by this meeting so to have a plan of action for the upcoming months for your designated service.
Sunday, Feb. 11th - Information / Training sessions. (These sessions will be held the second Sunday of all of the even months throughout the year.)
Sunday, Feb. 18th - This will be the beginning of a 1-1/2 hour meeting each Sunday for a 7 week study of Transforming Evangelism. This will be a study for the core team members to engage themselves in creating PowerPoints and teaching resources for the future. The hope is we will be equipping ourselves to better inform and teach others of our "new" found evangelism philosophy.
Things to think about:
What's our next step as a team to accomplish past creating our greeting teams.
How will we be following up with our visitors.
How can we work along side our Church administration that is already working with visitors.
Who will be the "team leads" for each service and the initial organizing of our new hospitality members.
Things to do:
Dana - CSN needs a basket put together for visitor gifts to keep for their service.
All - Continue your phone calls and start planning the schedules of your volunteers for next couple of months.
Mark your calendars for our upcoming meetings.
There seems to be a very positive response to the changes we are making with Hospitality within our church. Kudos to everyone!
