Greeters & Ushers  Making people feel welcome and comfortable when then walk in the door on Sunday mornings is a very important part of being the church and representing God to all people. Greeters and Ushers are often the first people that visitors encounter and can leave a lasting impression of the church at Good Shepherd.
