Ushers Needed as we Regather
|
|
Our Usher ministry is a vital part of the worship service and our ministry of hospitality. Its purpose is to ensure that all visitors and parishioners feel welcome at St. Andrew’s. Ushers are the first face of our church. Ushers work together as a team, rotating throughout the year, usually serving on the same Sunday each month. Usher duties include greeting churchgoers as they arrive, helping to orient guests and newcomers to our church, assisting with seating, recording service attendance, and answering questions.
Arriving early for services, ushers help prepare the entry area of the church for services, collect and present the offering during the service, and assist people to and from their chairs during communion. We invite anyone interested in this ministry to join us, including families and youth. Ushering is a wonderful way to introduce children to the service of hospitality and to teach them to look out for and be concerned for others. For additional information or to indicate a willingness to serve in this capacity, please contact Rob Moore at robmarcia@bellsouth.net or 332-209-9848.
