Does your church do this?

We do greet people at a time in church, but during cold and flu season (and there are usually 2 or 3 Sundays when people are hacking away), I will tell people to just fist bump and the location of the purell dispenser in the lobby. :love2:

 

I weigh in at about 255 and I got lifted off my feet by a woman giving me a hug yesterday. Full frontal...

That is too much. I'm okay with the preacher hug -- the sideways shoulder thing -- but the folks in my new church are HUGGERS, even the men. Just their tradition and style.

 

Those country women are strong! :thumbs:

 

I would love to attend a church like this....

 

That's too funny! Made me smile! Thanks I needed that!

 

How about the back slappers? Don't you just love them. They often do not hear a word you say in answer to their question(s).

 

Does worship start and stop with the time of the service? I hope not.

 

We do it at my church in the morning service when the choir and orchestra make their move back to their seats. They figure since there's already a ruckus with us moving to where we should go, everyone else might as well say "hi" and what-not to those around them.

 

Our church does a "meet and greet" every Sunday morning service; it's a chance for members to shake hands and welcome visitors and guests, and those who are not in the Sunday School classes.

 

Reminds me of a time when I almost took my preacher off his feet. I did a little back slap and caught him off guard. I'm a tad larger than he... :smilewinkgrin:

 

The sad thing about the server of sugar water is that he is a trustee at a well known seminary.
