Liturgist – The liturgist will read the call to worship and the scripture during the service. Volunteers are on a rotating basis.

Usher – The ushers hand out the bulletins and other information at the beginning of the service while they greet people. If an usher notices a visitor they are to give the visitor a Friedens gift and welcome them to our church. They collect the offering during the worship service. They assist people when needed to their seats. They collect prayer cards during the first song. They collect any trash left in the pews after the service and close the blinds.

Acolyte –These are youth that light the altar candles and open the altar Bible during the prelude music. During the last song they light the candle lighter from an altar candle, extingish the altar candles, and close the Bible. They then walk down the aisle bringing the light of Christ into the world.

Fellowship Hour – The fellowship hour is after the church service and during the Sunday School hour. Doughnuts are delivered to the church and volunteers set up tables and chairs, brew coffee, bring milk, and juice to serve. After the fellowship hour they wash dishes, wipe down the kitchen, and put the tables and chairs away.
