This past year we had two Greeter meetings, the one in January was a get acquainted and get reacquainted with one another and to introduce John Wilson, the new Greeter Deacon, to the Team. The second meeting in September was to announce some changes and new ideas for greeting since the new mobile classroom is in place. We also wanted everyone to be aware of the wheelchair availability. We had volunteers to serve the day of the Presbytery meeting that was held at WCPC in November which was a warm experience. Our current usher roster shows a staffing count of 65 dedicated volunteers.
Volunteers assist in three regularly scheduled services each week.
The Saturday evening service is covered by a lead usher, who casually recruits needed assistance from attending parishioners. This approach has worked successfully and fits the generally informal tone of that service. The two Sunday services are handled in a more traditional fashion and typically require a complement of 10 scheduled ushers to properly staff the full sanctuary. Special programming events occur throughout the church year, which often have need of ushering services. Thanks and recognition go to the Young Couples' group for providing their assistance on two separate occasions during 1998.
