Every Sunday hundreds of thousands of people around the world will visit a church for the first time ever…or maybe even the first time in a very long time. In fact, each week that is one thing you can count on at the 5 Points Campus. Each week we have families that are looking for a church or who have been invited and are there as our guests.
This takes a mind-shift for all of us. In fact, this is where our whole campus needs to take a shift. Whether you are a musician, greeter, children’s worker, sound tech, parking…in fact, no matter what you do at our campus, even if you come and just enjoy our environment, you must realize that we must put our best for all of our guests.
At our home if someone were to just drop by they would probably not even know that it were dirty because we keep it pretty clean. But when we know we are going to have guests all of us get involved in making our home ready for them.
How many of you, when you know that guests are coming over, go the extra mile to clean your house? If you are like us, you go all out…everything is vacuumed, scrubbed, mowed, edged…if you are serving food you probably make us the good dishes that you only use if guests are coming. And especially the bathroom is cleaned. Why do you do this??? Because your guests matter to you.
That is what all of us need to realize. Every Sunday morning the most important people are those who are there for the first time. If you have been at the campus for any amount of time take a few minutes and look for someone you don’t know and introduce yourself and make them feel welcome. If you are one of the ones that are truly making it happen realize that each Sunday guests are coming and let’s do whatever it takes to make them welcome.
Look for more posts coming this week on this topic.
