Join the St. Luke's Greeters Ministry and help visitors feel welcome and connected as they step foot onto our church campus.

Why have a Greeter’s Ministry?
 
The Greeter’s Ministry works as a part of the Invite, Welcome, Connect activities.  A simple way to vision this is:  Invite = Evangelism; Welcome = Hospitality; and Connect = Lay Ministry involvement
 
The Greeter’s Ministry is a critical link between the Invite and Welcome steps and, through information gathering, enables the Connect step.  Many times, it will be the first personal contact between a person and St. Luke’s and will be a critical first impression.  The Greeters also help set the model of a theology of WELCOME and HOSPITALITY to all, including parishioners, at St. Luke’s.
 
What do the Greeters do?
 
Besides a big smile and a warm heart, the responsibilities of a Greeter are easy:
  • Arrive about 15 minutes before service begins
  • Set up (at 8:45 AM service) and monitor the Visitor Table and Visitor Registry (supplies provided)
  • Introduce yourself to visitors and greet parishioners, set a welcoming tone
  • Ask visitors if they would like to sign the visitor log or fill out a visitor card
  • Pass on the visitor information for follow-up (process TBD)
  • Store visitor table supplies (after 11:00 AM service)
 
How often will I serve as a Greeter?
 
Any Greeter should not be scheduled any more often than one service time per month.
 
Will I receive training?
 
Yes, a training session will be held during the early fall.
 
Please pray and discern if you have a calling to this very important ministry.  It will give you a chance to meet new people and see old friends.  Please contact Mike Gaudet at 225-229-5584 or mikejgaudet@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to join this ministry.
