Our usher teams are members and active friends who volunteer to help with the flow of a service. They primarily greet people, hand out the order of service, help pass the collection plate, and a bit of straightening after. More detailed training can be done on the job by our team of head ushers.
Signing up is simple:
1: Use this link to look over the calendar and pick your date.
2: Click “sign up” and follow the instructions on the website
3: If you are a new usher, contact Fiona so she can get in touch with a head usher.
We also have other volunteer opportunities that are part of the usher umbrella: Greeters and the Questions and Connections table. The Greeter is very straight forward. Before service a person is stationed at our greeter lectern who can welcome guests and members.
Our Questions and Connections table is staffed by volunteers during coffee hours and requires a bit more familiarity with the church as well as the items found on the table, however training is simple and can be done on the job as well.
You are not required to do both however it is not uncommon since there isn’t any conflict between the two options.
Use this link to the sign up for those positions.
A weekly email with the usher team is sent out by Fiona on Thursdays with information on the week’s service, any guest speakers, or anything else important you may need to know ahead of time.
