I always make sure that I get to the back of the church before anyone else. I can't remember which pastor told me this, but he said that nothing that the pastor is doing the few minutes before or after the church is as important as greeting people; shaking their hands, letting them know you are glad they're there, finding out what they need prayer for, etc. I know that some churches use time before the service for a quick prayer gathering with the pastor (not being critical of them, I just see it differently), but I always intend to be there at the entrance, both before and after; just trying to be the friendly face of this ministry.
