Ushers prepare the sanctuary for every service, hand out bulletins, and close down after. During the service, we collect the offering, and are available for requests for assistance at any time. There are generally two ushers for every service, with occasional exceptions.
New members find this a good way to get acquainted with other members, and the demands on time are small - arrive about 45 minutes before the service and spend about 20 minutes tidying up afterwards.
