Evangelism Committee Report

The Evangelism committee is in its infancy. It was created at the end of 2005 and members began greeting separate from ushers in December.2005.

The work of the committee involves greeting all who come for worship especially the newcomers and visitors. To make a new person feel comfortable and welcomed leaves a lasting impression of the congregation and the church. Everyone at St. John's is friendly and cordial, but to designate a few to look after the visitors and new comers’ needs makes more sense, be it answering thier questions, guiding them to coffee hour or intrducing them to other members and the rector.

The committee will follow up with visitors and newcomers and help them remember St John's with fondness and possibly continue to worship with us in future.

As we evolve you will hear more about our progress. We need more greeters; if you are interested please let me know.
