Ministry
Opportunities:
Head
Usher:
This
person is in charge of making sure there are enough ushers to participate
in the Worship Service. They are to arrive 30 minutes prior to
the service, designate 3 ushers to count the offering, and assign someone
to take a "people count".

Usher:
Ushers
are to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the beginning of each service
and check with the head usher to let them know that they are there. They
serve by handing out our bulletins at the doors as
people enter the Worship Center, help with seating people and help
clean up the worship areas after the service.

Greeter:
A
warm greeting is the first thing every guest will notice at Northlake. Greeters
need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the service
to welcome people at the doors.

Communion
Preparers:
This
is a team that prepares the communion trays prior to the weeks that
communion will be served in the service. Communion preparers
should arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the first service to
set-up for communion, and to refill the trays between services.
Umbrella
Ministry:
This
team will meet people at their cars when it is raining and walk them
to the foyer under the protection of an umbrella.
Welcome
Center:
This
team is available before each service to answer any questions that
guests may have, especially help direct new attendees and guests to
children's and youth classes. There is also information available
at the Welcome Center for the different ministries here at Northlake. The
tape request clipboard is kept at the welcome center as well as the
tapes that have been duplicated for sale.
How
Usher/Greeter Ministries Work:
Our
goal is to extend a warm welcome every Sunday for each person through
the door, as well as make sure that people get a bulletin and a comfortable
seat. Our ministry volunteers also serve communion, receive and
count the offering, and provide information at the Welcome Center. We
are the first face of Northlake, and want to be one of the reasons people
want to come back.
Our
vision is to connect each person of our large ministry into small groups,
as well as have quarterly gatherings for potlucks. We are also
planning to partner with the Helping Hands ministry to serve at the Eastside "love
Inc." food bank.
