Inviting-and-Welcoming

Inviting and Welcoming Workshop on June 30 at St. John’s, Aptos

Inviting-and-WelcomingSt. John’s in Aptos is presenting a two hour workshop on how we can be more inviting and welcoming as congregations. It’s not enough just to open the doors and welcome all who come. How do we invite? How do we practice and proclaim who we are as a community of faith asking others to join us on our path. This two hour workshop will include discussion and practice in inviting friends and strangers and then how to welcome without overwhelming.
