Greeting the extra 1.6

Going on from my rant about forced, fake church greetings, i heard a great idea for going the extra mile in welcoming people to church.

Normally people trudge into church on a rainy day (truthfully... more people decide to stay in their cosy beds) as a snivelling moist mess. They are then greeted with a smiling face once the door is flung open and quickly shut again. Your umbrella is taken and you shiver through a church service...

The idea i heard is pretty simple. On a rainy day you have a number of ushers, armed with umbrellas, waiting to whisk you from you car to the church door.

As a greeting idea i think it really works. You have a captive, appreciative audience. What could be better?
