Gracious Invitation to worship takes many forms.
Word choice in the presentation of options in some congregations is particularly graceful, as noted in a bulletin from one church we visited during recent travel:
“As a courtesy to those with allergies, please refrain from wearing perfumes and fragrances to church events that might compromise the health of others.”
“*If you are able to do so comfortably, please stand at these times in the service.”
“Units are available to provide additional sound amplification. These units are available in the narthex and can be used anywhere in the sanctuary. Contact an usher if you have questions. Please return the unit following the service.”
