Kay Claiborn's Ministry Minute, 10/25/15

Newcomers Committee:  Diana Stovall, our able Chair, along with Mardee Moore, Annie Rae and I enjoy the ministry of welcoming new faces and families into our church.  It is a very scary adventure to walk into a new place and worship for the first, second or even the third time, so we greet these folks and ask them to sign the register.  Hopefully we don't overwhelm them, and approximately once a year we hold a Sunday brunch at the Rectory for everyone who is able to attend.  Our home cooked, and lovingly prepared, food is usually a hit and we provide pizza for the younger newcomers!!  It is a time for fellowship, sharing our stories and talking of Christ Church.  Harrison and  the Sr. and Jr. Wardens  (if possible) attend and all share in the ministry of making the newcomer feel most welcome.  So you if wish to get involved, please introduce yourself to a newcomer.  You will be pleased and it will make all the difference to the new worshipper!
