Our former pastor always shook hands as people left and then immediately went to “wash off the fellowship” after everyone was gone. LOL I like meet and greet but mostly when I get to visit with friends that I can catch up on. Then it’s hard to stop talking but when I am a stranger or talking to strangers it is awkward especially if one of us are not really new to the church!
Our pastor greets us with a handshake as we leave the sanctuary. I worry about him getting sick. He seems to get along well, and without more colds than the average person.
I always hated the sharing of the germs at other churches,and one reason I like my new (2 years now) church is there was not that awful pressure to shake hands with everyone during the service. We do so much fellowshipping before and after the service, I find it stupid on a few levels to do that during the service.
Cheers
