Welcome We are so glad that you have joined us for worship this morning and we want you to know that you

are always welcome. Regardless of who you are, where you come from, what you do professionally or

in your spare time, there is always a place for you here at Greystone.

You can give us a record of your visit by filling out the blue Friendship Pads as they are passed down

the pews during the service. This will give us a chance to connect with you and help you learn more

about Greystone. You can also ask one of the Ministers or Ushers who will direct you to information

about our church or I invite you visit our website: www.greystonechurch.org.

Worship Care is available in our preschool area for babies to five-year-olds during both the 8:45 and

11:00 services. If you would like to place your children in Worship Care, please stop by the check-in

desk to register and drop off your children. We also have activity bags available for children of all

ages. They are located in the basket near the entrance to the Sanctuary.

I hope you find Greystone to be a vibrant, diverse community of faith. Our members come from a

wide-range of spiritual backgrounds and life experiences. All of them care deeply for each other and

the world around them. At Greystone, we believe “Every Member is a Minister.” I pray your

worship with us today leads you further down the path of God’s calling upon your life.

Welcome to Greystone Baptist Church!

Sean O. Allen
