Welcoming and Greeting people is an introduction to Membership at the Cathedral. Then, in our life together, we encourage each other. Encouragement is more valuable than you can imagine. When you encourage others, you follow the spirit of Barnabas, which means "son of encouragement." Being an encourager doesn't come naturally for some people. However, when you let people know your thinking and praying for them, it greatly increases the personal connections in the Cathedral. A "Welcome to the Cathedral" packet is available in the Atrium for visitors and guests who are visiting with us.
