Guesturize Your Church!

Give them a warm welcome. Tell them your name and ask for theirs. Look them in the eye. Give them the best parking places and seat. Point them to the restroom, water fountain, nursery etc. Introduce them to someone else and the pastor. Make sure they have received a guest card and a pen. At the end of the service invite them back. There is no excuse for an unfriendly church.

God Answers Prayer !!!

Vector Security gave us a special bid on a new fire panel that was less expensive than Summit gave us for a refurbished panel. We voted Wednesday to go forward with having it installed.

Thoughts: Inflation affects everything except the wages of sin. It is better to be short on cash than to be short on character. Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a bad roof.
