A point that many people in the Church do not know is that the modern role of the Usher goes back to the beginning of Christianity with the “door watchers” that would guard the doors during divine service and watch for authorities. The roles and responsibilities of the Usher have changed slightly over the years; however, they still remain the door watchers in that they are usually the first person you see when entering the church. It is the Usher’s job to welcome, guide, and direct people into the Lord’s House. They assist in the worship by handing out bulletins, bringing forward the bread and wine, and by collecting the offertory. There are two ushers scheduled for the 8 am service and four for the 10:30 am service from a team of dedicated ushers. Volunteers are always welcome. Please call the church office at 428-2305 for more information about this ministry.
