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
