Hospitality Ministry
Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40) We believe that all of humanity and all of creation are interconnected, and that when one hurts, we all hurt and that no one is free until all are free.
Hospitality Teams
Our teams are responsible for acylating, greeting, ushering, and serving communion at weekend services. Leaders for each service time send monthly sign-up reminders to all who participate at that time through the Sign-up Genius website. Special services, such as Easter, Christmas and summer worship are open to ALL volunteers.
Greeters
Our greeters are the first faces people encounter when they come to worship. Greeters don’t have to be naturally out-going but simply willing to smile, say ‘hello,’ and welcome you into this space as a beloved Child of God. They are God’s arms of acceptance as we gather together.
Ushers
Our ushers are considered the worship concierges. They answer questions about the location of the restrooms, guide people to their seats, distribute worship materials, assist individuals through communion, gather the gifts, count attendance, and secure the offering—all with a warm smile and a welcoming presence. They are the hosts that invite us into the worship space and allow us to move without worry to where we need to be. They are an extension of God’s grace and presence as we make our way into community.
Communion Assistants
Our communion assistants could be better known as table servants. They don’t have special knowledge, and they aren’t holier than anyone else. They are simply and deeply committed to telling each and every one of us how much God loves us. God loves us enough to say, “This is my body and my blood, broken and shed FOR YOU.” Serving at the table means that we are humble enough to know it is God’s work being done—not ours. It is God who is holy—not us. It is God who forgives—and uses our hands and voices to do so.
If you're interested in hospitality sign-ups can be found in the entry way of the sanctuary and will be passed around during service.
