Greetings Churchling!

Our team was on the job again this week, chasing folks down, dragging them in from the street, parking lot, sidewalk or where they were spotted. Luckily most of them were actually headed into church anyway and that one lady that wasn't..... well she'll recover from the shock I'm sure! (kidding, no innocent passersby were harmed or traumatized Sunday morning!)

I'm not sure if there are points for this kind of thing, but I'm pretty sure we're in the lead for "most enthusiastic greeters". When they first hear that it's our turn at the door, there are grumbles and moans. Why? I have no idea. After they've been in the vestibule for about 30 seconds they start edging out to the doorway, onto the front step, down the walkway, jostling for position, trying to beat out the other 3 to get THEIR bulletin into the hands of the people coming in. Most people felt they were sufficiently greeted before they ever even hit the front steps!

They are especially welcoming of their favourite people!!! Shirley got extra special attention up on arrival this week! Their affection must have been obvious because another man walking in asked "those are Shirley's granddaughters are they?" I just smiled and said "well, pretty much. They're Shirley's girls for sure!"
