Ushers and Greeters

Ushers and Greeters: Morning Service

  As a greeter, you are the first face that people coming into Church encounter.  Your approach to the congregants is extremely important.  Your greeting, your personality and your warmth create the welcoming atmosphere that is so important for people to know that they are welcomed.  Your arrival time at Church would be 10:15 a.m.

As an Usher, you are an integral part of the service.  We help to create a flow during certain portions of the service.

We direct for anointing, we invite and direct for communion, creating the flow at this point during the service.

We also collect the offering.  Your arrival time at the Church is 10:30 a.m.

If you are concerned about training, we have a seasoned usher shadow you until you know how we participate in the service.
