the foy•er
the foy•er (foi’ er, foi ya’) n. an entry.
It’s the place in your home that serves as the welcome area for guests. It’s the first step, and it’s often your only chance to make your guests feel comfortable enough to return.
Our Sunday morning services are the "foyer" environment in our church for adults. Although our church family is present, we plan our services knowing that we have guests in our home.
Pretty cool, huh?
