Greeters provide the first welcoming smile to members and visitors coming to Trinity Cathedral on Sunday morning. In fulfilling our mission as a home for all who enter, our greeter team affirms people’s decision to join us, identifies those who may need support, and ensures our worship service proceeds with dignity, safety and joy. What is expected of a greeter?
- Arrive 20 minutes before the start of service.
- Welcome everyone as they enter.
- Provide information and directions to those who need them.
- Inform the ushers about those who may need special support.
- Watch for, and report, any concerning behavior to the ushers.
Please consider joining our greeter team! If you are interested in becoming a greeter, please speak with our Junior Warden, Ms. Margaret Nartey or sign up on the table right outside Synod Hall.
There is an updated Hospitality sign-up chart on the table just outside Synod Hall – please let us know on the sheet what you would like to bring on Sundays, which Sunday of each month you would like to bring it, and/or if you can help set up or clean up. If you have questions about how you can help, please speak with Larry Spears.
