Worship Service Support

March 17, 2013 Bulletin Cover

Dear Friends,

When it comes to worship, there are things that we expect. We expect that our musicians will offer music and song to the glory of God. We also expect that clergy will be prepared to lead in prayer and open God’s word. In our tradition, we can identify the “players” in the drama of worship because they stand before us at the front of our sanctuary.

However, there are many who serve in connection with worship that you may not have considered. For example, each week, our media coordinator, Chris Attarian, creates the worship slides. Two tech volunteers operate the lights, sound system and visual media at each service. Their ministry enhances worship.

Our Sanctuary Guild keeps the pew racks sorted out and supplied. We’re thankful to Fran Fisher, Una Couch, Jane Tomilinson and Betty Draves who carry out this quiet ministry during the week.

Linda Victory cares for worship center design, making sure that the Communion Table is set for the seasons of the Christian year. Nancy Smail coordinates Communion supplies and the lay readers at each service help to set out Holy Communion.

Each week the attendance sheets are reviewed by Heather Kostov, who keeps track of our visitors, and Heather Knop and Stacy Miller, who record worship attendance.

Three other teams of volunteers serve on Sunday mornings. Our usher and greeter teams provide welcome, direction and support for worship. Our accounting teams count and record the weekly offering.

I ask for your prayers for the many servants who contribute to lifting God through Jesus Christ in worship. If you are interested in joining a worship support team, talk with any church staff member. 

Blessings,

Pastor Sherry
