This ministry is called to invite the general Slidell community to join us at Christ Episcopal Church Slidell and help them to feel welcome here. While not replacing the personal invitation, we invite the public with signs, announcement and reporting of major events in mass media, newspaper and telephone directory ads, the web site, and more.
We also help welcome newcomers by printing nametags, preparing guest packets, coordinating the hospitality hour following the Sunday services, and inviting all (especially newcomers) to join us at this and other parish events.
We also strive to keep the parish family informed about events on the Parish and Diocesan calendar, and other opportunities for spiritual growth. The church website at http://www.christchurchslidell.com/ contains brief news stories of general interest, service schedules, event calendar, driving directions, and feedback pages, as well as this programs directory. There is also a selection of publicity items in the weekly service packet prepared by the rector's administrative assistant.
