When you come to worship during Advent, you'll find a table with name tag holders and blank paper. Join the advent name tag experiment by writing the name you'd like to be called on your tag and wearing it during worship and fellowship. Baskets in the narthex and fellowship hall will be available for you to drop off your tag on your way out. At the January congregational meeting, give us your feedback about the experiment: How did it help you get to know others at CUCC? How could we improve the process? Would you be willing to collect and repackage the tags one Sunday (a great task for a family)? We'll use your suggestions to decide whether to continue to use the tags.
Why are we encouraging you to wear a name tag? In a family, we know each other's names. In a big family like ours, name tags help jog our memories and introduce new family members. In the survey and at the retreat, some of you told us you appreciated the tags and hoped we use them more often.
Why aren't we using preprinted name tags? Imagine it's your first time at the family reunion. Everyone else has neatly printed tags, but you are new to the family so yours is in your scrawl. Feeling conspicuous?
