First Impressions Ministries
Welcome to Joy! We value community, a place where people can come as they are and gather together to connect with God and others and find a place they can call home.
Our mission in First Impressions is to…..
Act with Christ’s passionate, unconditional love, to engage all to build and
strengthen relationships through the Joy! Community.
To help accomplish this mission we have the following…..
Greeters
Head into the lobby and someone will probably say hello. Our greeters are friendly without being overbearing. We encourage you to grab a fresh cup of coffee, and make your way over to the Welcome/Information Center.
Welcome/Information Center
A friendly Joy! member will greet you and provide a guest with a welcome gift that includes some general Joy! information you’ll need to know. The Information Center staff are here to answer any questions you may have. If you have children, the Information Center staff will direct you to the nursery which is available all year or Kids Klub classrooms which run from Sept-May.
Ushers
As you enter the worship space, one of our ushers will provide you with a bulletin and help you find a seat, or you can seat yourself if you prefer.
Communion Assistants
At Joy! all are welcome to take part in the Lord’s supper. Communion is served weekly at Joy! at all worship services by our communion servers. Our ushers will welcome your row to walk up and take part in this important part of worship at the appropriate time.
Communication Card
Please take time to fill out a Welcome to Joy! card. We’re glad you came and would love to know you’ve visited Joy!. We’d also be happy to pray for you. In fact, if there’s anything you’d like us to pray for just write it on the bottom of the Welcome to Joy! card in the space provided. Then drop the card in the offering basket when it comes by or leave it in the basket provided in the lobby and you’re done!
Finally, as you begin to feel a part of this community and would like to help others feel welcome as well please know our First Impression team is always glad to add new friends. This team also has other team members- coaches, chair set, refreshment providers & bread bakers. If that sounds like you, contact Relational Ministries Coordinator, Jenelle Ancona at Jenelle.ancona@joylutheran.org.
