Parking lot bumpers?

You may have noticed the new parking lot bumpers in the South Lot. WHY?! Well, as we grow (hurray!), our parking has been getting tighter and tighter.  We’ve even had some fender-benders! If you were a (nervous) new person, would you want to fight the parking?

So, the easiest (and least expensive) way to help the situation was to put the traffic bumpers and reflectors.  YOU can do your part to make our parking lots less of a turn-off for new people: Please try to park in the slots and follow the traffic flow (counter-clockwise).

Lobby Donuts and Tables?

In our quest to make sure that we are doing everything we can to make new people welcome to our church, we are considering bringing some coffee, juice, and donuts down to the South Lobby (the entrance by the Sanctuary).  This may also include a few little stand up tables so people can stand around it set their coffee cup down and eat a donut.  This is based on observations from other churches and how people (especially nervous new folks)  start to form relationships.  That’s what we’re about, right?

Don’t panic!  We’ll still have stuff in the Fellowship Hall.  Are you helping to build new relationships or (only) nurturing your current ones?  Something to think about.
