We Each Have an Important Role

We Each Have an Important Role

Invite Welcome Connect was launched a year ago in April with a kick-off luncheon where more than 30 people learned of this new ministry that had taken root here at Holy Trinity.  It was explained that Invite Welcome Connect is a culture shift that involves and affects everyone at Holy Trinity.  It is a relational ministry that allows us to build connections with others through hospitality. It is all about the importance of relationships—our connections to one another, to Holy Trinity, and to God.

We all have important roles to fill.  The success of Invite Welcome Connect involves EVERYONE, not just a few.  We can all greet guests and make them feel welcome.  We can all connect with people, both current and new members. Challenge:  Either before or after worship, introduce yourself to someone you don’t know.  Invite them to join you for refreshments in the Chapel Lounge.

We all have stories to share.  Regardless of how long you’ve been attending Holy Trinity, there is a reason why you came, and there’s a reason why you keep coming.  What are they?  The reasons are different for each of us, and it’s our job to know what they are and to share them with others.  How exciting it would be for others to experience and share in what excites you about Holy Trinity?!Challenge:  Create a list of a few things that excites you about attending Holy Trinity … the people, outreach activities, liturgical worship, the music and arts programs or something else.  Then share your list with at least one other person.

We all can invite others to join us.  This is not so easy!  Think about how you get invited to events and activities all the time.  So, why not invite someone to join you for Sunday worship?  Challenge:  Take a pack of five Invitation Cards and pass them out over the next week.  †
