Information for Greeters

Arrive 20 minutes prior to the service so that you can check who is doing the readings/ intercessions (ask someone in the congregation to substitute should the person not arrive); turn lights, fan and heat on; and most importantly, greet members of the congregation as they come together to worship. Y

Make visitors and new members feel comfortable in a friendly atmosphere; answer any questions they may have; and give them the Parish binder to borrow so that they can learn more information about the Parish of Huntley.

Ring the steeple bell 5 minutes prior to service!

Keep and eye and ear open – is there something that needs attention, sickness or someone needs help, please go to their assistance.

Take up collection during the offertory hymn.

Take attendance numbers after communion when the Sunday school kids have joined us. On the Sundays when we have Morning Prayer service, the children will not be coming into church, so it will be just a matter of asking the Sunday school teachers for numbers. The attendance count is to be recorded in vestry books with the date.

Make sure sign outside the church has the appropriate service time marked.

Please tidy up pews after the service, putting papers in recycling bin and books in order.
