(Note: This could be easily adapted for use as an introduction
to the passing of the peace.)
One: Jesus said that whoever welcomes one of his followers,
welcomes Jesus himself.
All: (Turn to the person beside you and say “Welcome to our worship.”)
One: Whoever welcomes Jesus, also welcomes God.
All: (Turn to someone else and welcome them)
One: Whoever offers even a cup of cold water to one of God’s children
will be blessed by God.
All: All are welcome here! Let us worship God.
