Greeter/Usher Sign Up

Greeters/Ushers play a key behind-the-scenes role that enables worship to proceed smoothly, which is particularly essential as we cautiously return indoors for worship.  Please sign up for any Sundays that work with your schedule.  Thanks.

For the forseeable future, the Greeter/Usher role will look a bit different than you may be accustomed to.   Here are the details:

1. Welcome folks as they enter the sanctuary.
2. Offer a paper bulletin OR, if folk prefer to access the e-bulletin, pointing them to the QR code at each sanctuary entrance.
3. The main floor and balcony will be open with every other pew blocked off.  (On Rally Day, the front 6-7 pews will be reserved for new members.). 
4. Explain to worshippers that seating needs to be socially distanced by household or pod.
5. Offering plates will not be passed, but the usher caption will put out a plate will be at each entrance (two in the narthex) for donations.
6. During the doxology, two ushers will process with two plates up the center aisle to the chancel area, stay for the prayer, and then exit through the side doors as usual.
7. After worship, the usher captain and one other usher need to pick up all the collection plates (with offering) and bring to the office for counting.
8. FYI, the Welcome Spot will be open AFTER worship, for the first three Sundays this fall.  Then we'll assess and consider before and after worship for that ministry.
