The Strong's Greek 529, apentesis, carries a connotation of a (friendly) encounter - meet.
According to Bible Hub's Topical Lexicon
Overview of the Term
The word translated “meeting” (ἀπάντησις) is found only three times in the Greek New Testament. In each setting it describes a purposeful going-out to greet an arriving person of importance, emphasizing welcome, honor, and accompaniment. Though the contexts differ—parable, travel narrative, and eschatological teaching—the common thread is the joyful reception of a long-expected figure and the immediate escorting of that figure to the intended destination.

Welcome EViee
I'm newly arrived today
I'm a little disappointed in the content of the chat so far
I'm very interested in honest discussions about the attempts at taming the tongue
This, to me, is where the rubber of Christianity really hits the road of the world
Any thoughts?
