First Impressions

One of the recent decisions I have made is to change James' job title unofficially to our Pastor of Worship and First Impressions. Or as he says it, "the pastor of magnification and beautification." With this responsibility, he will be giving leadership to all of our ministries that make an initial impression on those who come to our church (usher/greeters, building/grounds maintenance, etc). We often don't think about how the newcomer views us. The first impression is often a lasting one.

Here is a great blog on this subject.
