Jesus said, whoever receives you, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives the One who sent me.” Matthew 10:40
Greeters are the first encounter by parishioners as they enter the church. Being a Greeter is a great way for individuals and couples who are relatively new to OLMC to get involved and to get to know members of the parish family. It takes relatively little time and the tasks are easy to learn. Your wiliness to serve God in the capacity as a greeter reflects your commitment to Christ. Your willingness to commit to a monthly schedule; to arrive on time and to be a friendly and welcoming presence to those coming to worship here at Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a further reflection of your commitment to serve this Parish. By assuring a welcoming presence and orderly seating at all Masses offered in this Parish, you enhance the beauty of the Liturgy and become an instrument through whom God may be present to those in worship that you have accepted the awesome privilege of not only welcoming people to the church, but being for others, a representative of a welcoming and gracious God!
If you attend church, you may or may not be accustomed to greetings at the front door. Many churches have greeters in place to welcome and help direct the crowd. In most cases, greeters are friendly people who like to welcome people to church and make guests feel particularly at home. Currently our parish is seeking greeters to establish a Greet Ministry.
Qualifications:
- Open to all men, women and teens (16 years and older).
- Provide assistance in opening the door and offer a warm welcome.
- Friendly attitude.
- Arrive 15 minutes prior to mass.
- Hand out bulletins.
- Serve at a minimum of one mass per month;
- Saturday Vigil 6:00 p.m.
- Sunday 8:30 a.m 11:00 a.m. 5:30 p.m.
Families are encouraged to greet as a team. If you're interested and would like to be a greeter, please fill out the form and we will get back to you as soon as we get it!
