Hi Fred and Martha

Thanks for helping as Sunday School Greeters for April 6.

I called Nancy Holmes, Barbara's secretary, and she is going to put

Information in our mail box Sunday. I will get a copy for you. She

usually does it two Sundays before the month so I was jumping the gun.

I did learn we need a couple of more people each Sunday.

As I see it, the purpose of the Sunday School Greeters is to "greet"

everybody and also to be able to direct lost souls to the right Sunday

School classrooms for their age and interests. When I did it I even

took some folks to the class rooms as any map can be confusing to new

folks. As you said when you did it, you greeted and hugged folks and I

think that is important. Also being outside the door rather than inside

is better, I think.

Each Sunday the greeters will pick up a package of material in room

248, the mail room upstairs of the Parish Life Building, which will

include "welcome" badges, Nancy said, and probably maps and class

descriptions. Should be somewhere in the mail boxes on the right hand

side. We should return the package each Sunday after we finish our

duties. We have to "man" three positions. One on Providence Road side,

One on Queens Road side near the side entrance to sanctuary, and one at

the entrance to the Parish Life Building. She suggests we have two

people at the Parish Life Building. I am working on the greeters for the

whole month and will work to get 2 more for our first Sunday of 4/6,

which is your Sunday. If you have a suggestion for 2 more for your

team, please let me know.

The time is 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning.

That is about all I know now. I will look over the info Sunday and give

you a copy of any you should have.

Thanks for helping do this. Send all the lost souls to Ownbey!
