Imagine this…you go to the grocery store and its raining. The associate pops up the umbrella to help you to your car. You go to a restaurant and all the booths are taken but the owner’s family is sitting in one booth so they get up and let you have the booth. Wow, great hospitality.

Now imagine, you have not attended church in years,  but you decide to go on Easter Sunday. You approach the corner pew and members are sitting there.  They hold on to the seat until they see MIM stated in the church bulletin.

MIM stands for … Move in the Middle!

It’s time to practice hospitality in the house of worship. Just as Romans 12:13 reminds us, “Share with God’s people who are in need, practice hospitality.”  When you see someone approaching your pew, simply move toward the middle to make room for more.

Recently I have written a 55+ page ushers guide book on Creating an Extraordinary Welcome. This practical book shares tips on how to set us an usher ministry, what every usher needs to know before the guests arrive, how to go out of the way to assist and why welcoming really matters. Are you ready to give an extraordinary experience?

What can you imagine doing that’s extraordinary this Easter?
