worship volunteer job descriptions
Worship CoordinatorPlease arrive at the church at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the service. The Coordinator’s responsibilities are to pray for the Holy Spirit’s presence in the service, assist the Pastor, and confirm that the persons assigned to be participants are present: lector, greeters, ushers, acolyte and/or communion assistants. If any of these persons are not present, you are responsible for finding another volunteer to fulfill that particular responsibility. You may check with David Tesdall for ushers and Pastor Tim for acolytes. Once all volunteer positions are filled for the service, you will inform Pastor Tim that the service is ready to begin.
If you as Coordinator cannot be present at the worship service to which you are assigned, please arrange for another Worship and Music Committee member to substitute for you and inform the Parish Secretary as to the change before Thursday morning so the change can be noted in the bulletin.

If you are unable to be a lector on the given date, please arrange to trade with someone on the list or contact the Parish Secretary (597-2831).
