2 /5 Rosaura Gil: My husband and I recently moved to the area (weekenders) and I decided to try it Harvest based on the information on the website.
While I enjoyed the worship music, I was disappointed with the overall experience. I came with my mask on, and a nice gentlemen held the door for me and said “Good Morning”. I thought, oh good… so far so good. There were two young boys who said “Good Morning”, which was nice. But that was it… no one said “Hello” , no one sat next to me, I was the only obvious person of color…i was the only one with a mask on too. I was looked at and not approached (I’m use to my church that always welcomes folks and make an effort to connect with obvious visitors).
The preaching was ok. As the message progressed, I started to connect to what the pastor was saying.
Overall, left deflated and a bit hurt ( my husband noticed when I came home that something was bothering me) I have to say I was sad… I really wanted to like this church and come back
I would suggest that the ushering team have men and women to help greet people and make them feel welcome.
