GET ON OUR LEVEL!!!

Radical Hospitality at Memorial UMC

We need YOUR help with RADICAL HOSPITALITY; please volunteer in this effort.
 
Memorial UMC can offer radical hospitality by members volunteering one to two Sundays a year to be greeters for the 8:50 Awaken Service, and the 11 a.m. service, to provide a smile, verbal greeting, and assistance as needed. Radical hospitality would be as follows outside the church: If it is raining, we offer to meet visitors and members in the parking lots with an umbrella and walk them to the nearest door. If a parent(s) arrives with small children, walk them to the nursery if they want to use the nursery. If a person is in a wheelchair, walk them to the wheelchair access for either service and assist as needed to enter the building. Front entrance greeters would be outside church entrances to greet everyone and open the door. Parking lot greeters are stationed on the sidewalk across from our main parking area to give directions and assistance. Greeters inside assist the ushers giving out bulletins (Awaken service in CEC lobby and 11 a.m. service in sanctuary near the altar).
 
The Radical Hospitality committee has been combined into one committee representing the hospitality and greeter committees at Memorial. Rhonda Winters is the chairperson. If you and/or your family would be willing to be a Radical Hospitality greeter one or two Sunday’s a year for one or both services, please email Rhonda at rswinters@rtmc.net or text or call 336-688-2559. We need two volunteers each Sunday for outside and one to two greeters inside the church. We know that some of you have already been a radical hospitality greeter this year and we are very appreciative. Rhonda will be assigning the dates, with your assistance, for being a radical hospitality greeter for the period from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2024. We will give written instructions and reminders for when it is your date to be a greeter.

FLOWER MINISTRY

Please Contact Julie Clinard, the chair of the Flower Ministry, if you would like to provide flowers for the Altar in memory or honor of someone. 

She keeps the calendar for the Altar.
