Youth in 5^th through 8^th grade are asked to serve as acolytes. They light the altar candles to begin worship and extinguish them to end worship. They hand offering plates to the ushers. They may sit with their families.

Assisting ministers sit with the pastor. During the service, they will read prayers, help with communion and assist the pastor as needed. They are trained by the pastor.

Audio/Visual volunteers operate our projection equipment during services, record sermons, and control the sound board. These volunteers sit at the A/V desk in the sanctuary.

Communion assistants check in with the worship coordinators before worship to be assigned a spot from which to serve communion. They sit with the congregation and come forward when instructed by the pastor to receive communion. After all assistants receive communion, they are handed either the wine or wafers and go to their assigned spot to serve communion to the congregation.

Greeters arrive about twenty minutes before worship begins to stand near the entrance door and welcome people as they enter for worship. They offer a friendly smile, a handshake or a wave, and direct guests to the sanctuary.

Lectors read the lessons for the worship services. Lessons are provided early in the week so readers are familiar with the text.

Ushers greet people and pass out the worship materials (bulletins and hymnals) as people enter the sanctuary. They also collect the offerings, usher people to communion, and ready the sanctuary for the next worship service.
