The Work of the Greeter (Work of the Church) - Tapa blanda

The latest volume in Judson Press's classic Work of the Church series, this book offers practical information for development and implementation of a more structured hospitality ministry of greeters. Beginning with the biblical precedent for such a ministry in the gate-keepers of the Jerusalem temple, the author goes on to provide detailed suggestions for the recruitment, organization, and function of greeters in the life of the church.
