The opportunity to serve as an Usher at St. John's is an important one since ushers are typically the first friendly face visitors and newcomers see. Ushers greet worshippers warmly and with a friendly smile, count the parishioners attending the service and write the attendance number on a service record slip. Ushers are also responsible for directing parishioners to the altar rail during Holy Communion and arranging the church pew area, including picking up extra bulletins, to prepare for the next service.
Some training is required.
