GRADUATES
If you have a graduate in your family make sure you give their name to the office so we can pray over them!
WORSHIP AND HOSPITALITY
“Good morning! We are so glad you are here today, “ the usher said with a smile 😊.
Doesn’t it feel wonderful when someone greets you as you enter a space – a friend’s home, a store, a restaurant, a doctor’s office, and a church building? It does!
As we are moving out of the pandemic’s restrictions, we are also inviting many others to be part of the ministry of ushering. This is a very important part of our worship ministry and is the first act of hospitality that someone will experience in our church. Welcoming people, making sure they know where they can sit, perhaps directing someone to the nursery, etc. Other responsibilities include lighting the candles, unlocking/locking the front doors, and putting the offering in a secure location following worship.
WE NEED MANY of you to sign up to be part of this ministry! Here’s who qualifies:
· Entire Families
· Single Persons
· Married Persons
· Young Persons
· Older Persons
Do you like to greet people? Do you love this church? Are you a welcoming person? Are you looking for a place to serve that requires no prior experience or prep time? Can you commit to 1 – 4 Sundays per quarter (or year)? Can you arrive at church at 9:30 on a Sunday morning? If the answer is a resounding YES!, then please contact Leslie at church and she can get you started on one of the most important and joyful roles in the church – that of an USHER!
