   2. We welcome all our eminent guests with overwhelming joy and profound gratitude. We appeal to them to kindly wait to see the ‘WELCOME TEAM” after the service.  They should please take the exit on the Lectern side and also fill the “First Timers’ Form” and return it to the ‘WELCOME TEAM’.  Please study our weekly Bulletin and attend our programmes and activities as enshrined therein.  God bless you richly.
