WOW

WOW

Have you ever been to any establishment (whether it is a restaurant, a clothing store, a coffee shop, a movie theater, a friend’s home and, yes, even a church) where you felt the sensation of WOW?  What happened, what did you see, how were you treated to make you feel WOW – a feeling of surprise, wonder, admiration or delight at how you were treated.  Did you feel like the people in that place went over the top to make you feel welcome?

Would you tell friends and family about places to visit that give you a WOW experience?

Let’s think about the other side of the coin for a moment.  Have you ever had an opposite-of-wow moment?  An antonym of wow is “flop.”  So, have you ever had a flop moment – a time when you visited a place and it just did not go well – so awful that you know you will never return and further, you will tell family and friends NOT to go there?

Even though we may offer a different service than a restaurant, a clothing store, a coffee shop or a movie theater, a church still offers something.  Something quite good actually.  Something that we hope everyone will want once they find it.  That something is the good news of Jesus Christ.

When  guests comes through our doors, they are actually trying to find out if we here at Southport United Methodist Church will offer something that they can use.  We know we do, and we know that it is something we desperately want them to have.

But, if we don’t WOW them, will they find what they are looking for here?

Thankfully, we have a great Connection team of greeters, guest services and ushers that work each week to provide our guests a WOW moment.

WOW!
