Worship Assistants

Our worship at RELC is guided by Lutheran liturgy.
Liturgy = work of the people.
Congregation members assist in various capacities during worship:
Greeters…Ushers…Lectors…Acolytes…Assisting ministers…Communion distribution

*Greeters: Arrive 20 minutes before worship. Greet people at the outer doors, welcome visitors and members. Introduce visitors to others and answer any questions about where, when, what to expect, etc.

*Ushers: Greet all who come into the worship space. Assist with seating, direct visitors to complete a communication card. Introduce visitors to others and answer any questions about where, when, what to expect, etc.

*Lectors: Weekly lessons are sent out by Thursday so you can review. Lectors speak from the pulpit – all ages welcome!

*Acolytes: Typically this role is filled by 4th graders and up. They light the candles and are general helpers during worship. Training is available.

*Assisting Ministers: assist the Pastor during worship with readings, prayers, communion distribution, etc.
We encourage all ages to lead during worship!
