Do
we make our guests (visitors) feel welcome in our worship assemblies?
Many
years ago, in a small Scottish church, an usher was painstakingly attending his
duties, making sure that all in the worship service were in their places and
properly quiet during the sermon.
Suddenly,
he spotted an old Scotswoman with an ear trumpet. He had not seen these
contraptions (ear trumpets were metal instruments, shaped like trumpets, long
ago used to assist the hearing impaired); consequently, he hurried over to the
woman and, in a low but threatening whisper, told her, “One toot and you’re out.”
Are
there any members in your congregation who convey this spirit to your guests,
“One toot and you’re out”?
