Welcome Station and Nametags

I'm excited to announce that the Hospitality Team is beginning work on some new projects.

This Sunday, April 4th, look for our new Welcome Station that will be the central location for information on Sunday mornings.  Our Sunday morning "Host" will be available there to provide answers to your questions or at least point you in the right direction. 

This new station will also serve as the check-in kiosk for our guests.  So, when you invite someone to come to church with you on Sundays, please be sure to stop by the Welcome Station to get them properly signed-in and introduced to the Host.

Another important project that is underway is the Nametag Project.  We will be purging and organizing our current nametags while looking for ways to improve our nametag storage system.  We will also be developing a new nametag style that incorporates the traditional cross-stitch design that Helen McKown has so lovingly provided for so many years.

Why all the fuss about nametags?  I think a sign I read at Holston Valley UUC during a recent visit there sums it up well... "Wearing a nametag is a gift of yourself to a stranger and a gift of kindness to those who know your face but not your name and are too embarrassed to ask."

So, please wear your nametag at every church event you attend.  And if you need a nametag, please visit the Welcome Station to request one.

One last thing... if you are interested in becoming a part of our Hospitality Team, please contact me at oruuc.membership@gmail.com or see me on Sunday morning.  We have plenty of jobs available and would love to have you on the team.

Thank you for all you do!
