Communion Servers

Communion Assistants assist during communion services with the distribution of communion. Usually, volunteers serve 1-2 times per year at either of the Sunday services. If you would like to serve as a Communion Assistant, please contact Pastor Andrea.

Decorating Team

The Decorating Team works to decorate the church for various seasons of the church year. This includes setting up and decorating the large Christmas trees in the sanctuary during the Advent season, as well as other seasonal displays throughout the building. For more information, please contact one of the pastors.

Greeters

Greeters do just that: they greet people as they come into the building for worship. This is an easy way to get to know others and nurture the hospitality of the congregation. Volunteers serve 2-3 Sundays a year at either the 8:30 or 11:00 am worship service. If you would like to be a Greeter, please contact Pastor Andrea.

Scripture Readers

Scripture Readers are key players in the worship services. By reading the appointed Bible readings for the day, and leading the psalm, Readers help bring God's word to life! Readers serve 2-3 times per year at either the 8:30 or 11:00 am service. If you would like to serve as a reader, please call the church office (373-6496).

Ushers

Ushers at our worship services are scheduled for one month at a time. There are 12 teams each with a captain. Ushers greet people coming into worship, hand out the worship folder, receive the offering, and provide assistance to worshipers during the service. If you would like to be an usher or a substitute usher, please call the church office (373-6496).
