Ushers offer Hospitality
and oversee the
orderly gathering of GOD'S people for worship. Outreach is part of the
Usher's ministry; since many times we are the first members of St.
Johns that meet newcomers at our parish. Activities: Ushers greet
worshipers and newcomers, provide bulletins, assist newcomers and
visitors, outreach, pray for the congregation, flowers for newcomers,
presentation of the elements, count attendance, collect the offering,
assist communicants at the altar rail, assist Celebrant as directed,
maintaining a comfortable environment, clean and order the pews after
the Service. Being an usher is a good ministry to learn about St.
John's and meet many of the members. Goal: Our goal is to offer the
best service to St. John's in the future as we have in past
