Looking for a good response to a welcome speech? Here are the three rules to follow to make your response amazing:
- Keep it humble - People are gathered to celebrate as a group, it shouldn't be about drawing attention an individual, so keep your speech modest.
- Praise and thank God. That is after all why you are gathered.
- Thank everyone involved in the welcome speech, and the day in general.
So a sample response to a welcome speech could go something like this:
"thank you all for making this day really special, and for allowing me to visit your church and become part of your congregation today, I pray that God paves the way for a stronger bond between us all, and that we might learn and love God together."
