The Narthex Greeters group is small, but in 2006 they met 6,656 visitors who came through Met;s front doors. Knowledgeable about the building's history as well as the story of the congregation, Narthex members welcome visitors to the building from Monday to Friday, noon to 3 p.m. The people who come to see Metropolitan United, in groups both large and small, may be local or from anywhere in the world. They come in to learn more about the building, pray, light a candle, or perhaps just sit for a while.
