The Work of the Greeter

The latest volume in Judson Press's classic “Work of the Church” series, this book offers practical information for development and implementation of a more structured hospitality ministry of greeters. Chargois challenges church leaders to reassess their greeters' ministry in three ways:

• sharpening of their service
• strengthening of the ministry they offer to God's people
• deepening of their spiritual underpinnings personally and collectively

Beginning with the biblical precedent for such a ministry in the gatekeepers of the Jerusalem temple, the author goes on to provide detailed suggestions for this ministry today, including:

• recruitment
• organization
• function of greeters in the life of the church

An important addition to each church library and pastor's bookshelf!
