Tips to make church more welcoming

I tried taking a client to worship on a Wednesday and ran into some problems (different church from other posts). The door at the top of the wheelchair ramp did have a button so the door would automatically open. However, there's a switch that has to be turned on to allow the door to open. That switch wasn't on so I got to do some interesting moves to get the door opened without sending my client flying down a ramp. Other people were standing inside the doors and decided to watch this "dance" occur instead of help and when I finally got my client and myself in the door decided to tell me that there was switch on a wall over there and that it needed to be flipped. What was welcoming about being told how to make someone else's church accessible? What is welcoming about standing there and not doing something when you know what to do? I think there are a few missing links there.
Another issue I've run into is congregations using lifts and ramps as a place to store items that don't get used all that often in worship. I have seen lifts used to hold extra candelabras, flower stands and other random stuff because it was convenient and close. I've seen tables placed on the break of a ramp so if someone wouldn't be able to turn to continue going up or down the ramp. While I understand that storage space is generally at a premium in churches, these are not the place to store things. Even if you don't have someone who uses them on the regular bases that's still not the point. Why would someone want to come back if they did show up and the accessible equipment is blocked or being used as storage. That doesn't say welcoming, that says we're fake. Please, please, please find other places to store your stuff. Maybe the fact that you don't have a place to store your stuff means you need to take an inventory to see what you really do or don't have and clean up your house of worship.
