Greeting
A pastor saw Robert Schuller's TV program "Hour of Power." One of the things that impressed him the most during the program was watching everyone turn around to shake hands with and greet other worshipers seated near them. The pastor felt that his church was a bit stuffy and could use a bit of friendliness.

So, at Sunday morning worship he announced that next week they would initiate this custom of greeting one another.

At the close of this same worship service one man turned around to the lady behind him and said a cheerful, "Good morning!" She looked back at him with shock at his boldness and said, "I beg your pardon! That friendliness business doesn't start until next Sunday!

lovely!

I remember when they first started using the handshake & sign of peace in services it seemed really strange if you didn't know the people but now it's really great.
