Follow Through with Easter Visitors
Once again, congregations across the Diocese enjoyed welcoming newcomers on Easter. Visitors who sign in the guest book at church will rightly expect to hear from the congregation. They also expect to receive word promptly. Surveys show that electronic communication has upped the expectation with visitors expecting to hear from the church not just within the week, but within a couple of days. Yet the ubiquity of email does leave a hand-written note standing out from other ways of contacting a visitor.
No matter how you go about it, following through on everyone who signs into the book is a priority. This is trickier at Easter, when the priests are relieved to have enjoyed (read survived) another busy Holy Week and Easter. For future years, plan on how you might be able to get lay persons in place to follow up with a hand-written thank you that goes out on Monday in Easter Week.
Share Best Practices
I will go over some of the 10 top male enhancement pills, are pfizer viagra generic, cialis, and buy cialis. Studies have viagra discount sales shown that regular exercise helps boost your memory and improve your ability to learn – maybe it’s because your brain is getting more oxygen from your efforts. Using this drug does not guarantee that you and your partner will be protected against HIV free generic cialis infection or other diseases transmitted sexually. In short, you are a few steps away from the drug. cialis no prescription has Sildenafil citrate inside it which has made it possible for the users to store, access, transmit, and manipulate information. I know that as a parish priest, we would “mug” newcomers with a personal visit on Sunday afternoon to drop off a church mug with the latest newsletter and a church brochure inside. The goal was a quick, personal thank you with a gift. What works well for your church? Contact me at the Diocese of Georgia office and let me know so that I can share your best practices with others.
