Ushers
Ushers are leaders. As such, they reflect the devotion and reverence and joy of encountering God in our worship service. Ushers should not physically or emotionally absent themselves from worship.
Users are "Exhibit A" for visitors. Some visitors are wary coming to a church and it takes very little to make their return their last return. If they feel authentically welcomed and helped by the usher, God has one less stumbling block to hurdle in bringing the Gospel to these people.
As the offering begins, each usher should take his position in the aisle and walk up in line with the other ushers. As the collection basket is passed back and forth, count the number of people in the pews to which you are passing the basket. The usher opposite you is counting the people in the pews to which he is passing the basket. After the collection basket has been passed, meet together in the vestibule to combine all collections in the large offertory basket for the gift bearers to take to the altar.
