Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a moment. What if you were a visitor to our church for the first time ever. What would you expect? What would you be looking for? Would you know where to drop off the kids? Could you find a Sunday School class? Would you be greeted? Would you know where to park? Would you like to be smiled at and have your hand shook (or shaked, shooken or shooked, whatever)? Would you feel comfortable? Would you know where to sit in church? Would you visit the website before you came for more information? Would you know where the restrooms are?This list can go on and on. Just thinking about these things. Have you done this recently, have you seen the church through the eyes of a visitor? If so, what do you see (p.s. this is not necessarily a negative answer expected question. There are many, many good things, I am just trying to provoke thought. Is it working?)?

I have been a visitor just recently actually (wink) and I have to say, besides the amazing preaching (wink,wink) the nursery is a hit for me. Jonathan loves to go see Lucky and he enjoys watching the animals (and daddy) on tv. I love the women's restroom, too! Just some pluses that came to mind! :)
ReplyDeleteI know when we visited over the past few years and then when we actually moved here, we have had so many hand shakes...HUGS...that you better be for wanting those things in a church. In The Woodlands you were hardly greeted and probably didn't know where to go but not here! If you even look like your lost and you have been here a while someone is going to try to help you!!! :)
