Love to Hear It!

I have recently had several conversations with new people at NCC who have been so pleased about how welcomed they felt in our meetings. They have expressed how great it feels to come into our meeting and not only be greeted at the door, but to connect with people over coffee before and after the meeting. I really, really appreciate you all taking the time to serve these new people!

I liken our meeting to my house. I would never just open my door and let someone come into my house without saying hi to them and offering them something to eat or drink. Moreover, I wouldn't just greet them at the door, usher them into my living room and then leave them there for hours. The church is a family and we are given gifts in each and every visitor. I can live with someone coming to our meetings and not being able to line up with us theologically, or not being able to join our mission, but for someone to come and say no one would talk to me is just unacceptable.

All that to say, thank you so much for being so hospitable in our meetings! I love this church!
