Welcome Receptionists Needed for Our Lobby

Marilyn Myers reports:

I have made a commitment to see that our lobby desk is staffed Monday through Thursday, 10am to 12 noon, this holiday season. Perhaps one or two of you could help me make that happen. I can write up what my psychologist daughter calls a “job aid”, or make a list of Frequently Asked Questions. Or perhaps you would like to shadow me for an hour or two so you can be comfortable with the routines and the feel of the lobby? Some days there is lots going on; other days I get projects and reading done while giving out smiles to all.

Please consider this opportunity. It can be fun, and sometimes a little sad, but very rewarding. Talk to me at coffee hour, or by phone or email, or contact the church office.
