Call to Service - Ushers

Ushers are more than just the he persons who hand out bulletins, take up offerings and

set the pace of persons moving forward for Eucharist (Communion).

We are often the first face(s) of our membership that that many first time guests see,

when they enter our sanctuary. If you believe this a ministry in which you would like to

participate, please contact Steve Jones at 305-2427. or during Coffee Hour on Sunday,

If you have an adolescent in your family who feels church has nothing for them to be

involved in, we would be happy to have them join us.
