Volunteer in one or more of our ministries. Here are a few
Ushers/Ujieres
The Greeter/Usher ministry is a vital part of the worship service. Its purpose is to ensure that parishioners' needs are met, that portions of the service flow smoothly, and that the church is left in good condition for the next service.
The Greeters/Ushers also introduce themselves to our guests and ask if they are familiar with the Episcopal style of worship. If they are not, the Greeter/Usher offers a quick introduction to the service (bulletin, hymnal, Book of Common Prayer, etc.) and perhaps directs them to sit with a parishioner who might help them through the service.
The role of the Greeter/Usher is very important to parishioners and visitors. The Greeter/Usher represents the entire congregation in the collection and offering of monetary oblations to the altar. The Greeter/Usher picks up used bulletins and returns prayer books and hymnals to the pew racks, making certain that the church is ready for the next service.
Being a Greeter/Usher at St. Paul’s/San Pablo’s, while not overly difficult, is an extremely important ministry that is available to everyone.
