Ushering Plan for October 21

This Sunday is another great Children's Sabbath week, and we are switching up the schedule a bit to allow Alivers to serve this week. Welcome to Ushering Week in Alive!

Alivers will be encouraged to usher at all three services. At the 10am service, Alivers should meet in the Gathering Hall to receive their ushering assignments and instructions. There will be a sign on the Scout Center door to direct Alivers to the Gathering Hall, and they will receive an e-mail this week with instructions.

You should station yourselves in the Gathering Hall and help to assign them to stations, with the help of Pat Isaacs, one of our main ushers.

Pat will assign Alivers to pass out bulletins, take offering, and assist in many different ways. Anyone who does not want to serve or does not have a job can sit in the back pews.

After the offertory is taken and the Doxology is sung, you will all head back to the Scout Center for snacks and a debriefing. Give them a chance to share about their experience of serving in worship by asking:

• Did they get any funny looks from people? Why?
• Do you have to be a certain age to serve in the worship service at church?
• Why do we have ushers? What would worship look like without them?

I'm hopeful that Pat will join you for some portion of this time to answer any ushering questions the kids may have. She is always looking for more ushers and would welcome them to usher anytime they are available. 

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! We will finish our Grapple series the following Sunday. 

Blessings and thanks!
