Help Us Worship

If you're looking for a way to be more involved with our worship experiences and want to help serve our community as a worship leader, check out these opportunities to engage.

  • Assisting Minister: Leads many of the prayers during worship and assists the Pastor at the altar and during baptisms or other events taking place.
  • Ushers & Greeters: Welcome worshippers at the door with a smile, pass out worship folders, assist those with special needs, gather and present the offering during worship, and guide the congregation in coming forward for the sacrament of Holy Communion. Families are encouraged to serve together—children leading and learning alongside of parents or other adults in the assembly. Instruction will be given for anyone who would like to serve the church in this manner.
  • The Altar Guild: Prepares the altar and worship space. This includes filling the candles with oil, changing the altar cloths when required, laundering (or arranging for dry cleaning) of altar linens and paraments, rotating banners for the season, preparing the elements for communion, coordinating special seasonal decorations and caring for the altar flowers. These individuals serve in teams of 2to 4 and usually serve for a period of one month.
  • Sound Team: Runs the sound board and monitor microphones and sound levels during our services. They also monitor the recording device(s) which is/are used to record our service for those who would like a copy or were unable to attend.
  • Musicians: Various combinations of vocals and instruments including piano, keyboard, organ, flute, clarinet, guitars, drums, bell choirs, and more. If you have a gift for song, or play an instrument and would be willing to share that with us in worship, please contact Connie Berggren.
  • Chancel Choir: Sings during Sunday worship services September through May. Rehearsals are Wed. evenings at 7:30 PM.
  • Basket Holders: Hold an empty basket for the collection of individual communion cups. Usually younger children ages 3 & up.
  • Acolytes & Cross-Bearers: Lead worship by lighting and extinguishing the altar candles, or by carrying the processional cross. Fire represents the Light and Spirit of Christ in our midst. By lighting candles we are claiming a particular time and place for the purpose of worship and claiming it as Holy Ground. At the close of the service the candles are extinguished, but the flame is carried out, passing through the assembly as a sign of the eternal presence of Christ who goes ahead of us, calling us out for the sake of the world.
