Another Take on Guest Anonymity
For years we've been told Sunday morning guests want complete anonymity when visiting a church service for the first time. As a result many churches have shied away from direct contact with guests. Shawn Lovejoy has some thoughts about how to respond to Sunday morning guests. I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of name tags. Earlier this year at Jubilee we began wearing simple, peel-off name tags with first names only. The benefit of this has been quite significant to say the least. The name tags make it much easier for our members to introduce themselves to our guests. The name tags have also helped our members know each other, something that becomes increasingly more difficult as the church grows. Here's the link.

Rick,
That was an awesome article. I think the nametags really do help to build church community, especially for those of us (like me) who are terrible with names. :)
