Service opportunities
Greet those as they enter the doors and halls of St. Andrew with a positive attitude, a friendly smile, and a warm welcome! Greeters are often one of the first people someone new to our church may meet. Greeters arrive at least 20 minutes before the worship service and typically stay at their post until about 5-10 minutes after worship begins to greet latecomers. We encourage children/students to volunteer with an adult as a greeter.
Ushers provide hospitality to everyone coming to worship. Volunteers should come with a positive attitude, providing a smile and warm welcome to all. Ushers should arrive at least 20 minutes before the worship service and typically stay until about 10 minutes after worship begins to greet latecomers, distribute bulletins, and assist them with finding seats if needed. Ushers will work as a team to pass the offering, as well as dismiss by rows on Communion days. We encourage children/students to volunteer with an adult as an usher.
Drivers are the first to welcome guests and members to our church with a warm and friendly greeting. Drivers provide easy access from the parking lot to the church building. Drivers are required to attend an easy 10 minute training on operation and safety of the golf carts. Drivers will arrive 20 minutes before the worship service and stay about 10 minutes after worship begins to greet latecomers.
Communion Sundays are typically the first Sunday of every month.
