At face value, one might think: 'What is there to greeting people as they enter the church?' And 'Why is this a ministry?' Greeters represent the 'face of Trinity,' offer that initial spirit of warmth and welcome to all parishioners, and also are often the first important 'link' in our welcoming process for visitors and newcomers -- a very important ministry at Trinity. The Greeters also serve as resources of information and as guides for parishioners, especially newcomers. And they are ready to make nametags for new members, and, along with the Ushers, to assist people with special needs as they enter the church.
