In the past when I was the Hospitality Director in our church we used the guest register tear-off sheets and followed up much like Sheri does. We also had assigned volunteers (8 who worked on a rotating basis.) who would wander around in the narthex and during the coffee time specifically to meet and greet visitors and newcomers. We had a lot of comments that people felt we were a very welcoming church.
Someone else has taken over the Hospitality position at this time and things are done much more informally now.
What ideas does anyone have on how to intigrate new people/families into the church community. Mentoring? We have about 275 members, with mostly young couples and senior citizens. Not many families in their 40s and 50s.
