Greeters provide a friendly “hello” to folks as they enter our church doors, make a special effort to chat with newcomers at coffee hour following services, facilitate introductions, and serve as a resource for newcomers with questions about St. Thomas’. Greeters have proven to be a key resource in acquainting newcomers with our parish and its numerous offerings for spiritual growth and engagement.
