Worship Ministry

At St. John Lutheran Church, you have many ways to contribute to our worship experience:

Assisting Minsters
Lay people are trained in leading portions of the liturgy. They also lead the congregation in the “Prayers of the Day” which they have personally written. These volunteers check the theme of the day and typically include prayers for the world, our nation, our city, and our church. They also assist with communion.

Ushers
Men, women and youth usher at one of the services. Ushers hand out bulletins, take the offering, help people find seats, assist during communion and perform other duties.

Readers
These volunteers read the lessons appointed for the day (with the exception of the Gospel). They also assist with communion.

Altar Guild
Men and women prepare the liturgical garments, decorate the sanctuary at certain church holidays, prepare communion and set up for baptisms.

Worship and Music Committee
This group meets to discuss all things related to Worship. We do some visioning and dreaming as well as deal with practical matters.

Transportation
Drivers provide for the needs of members who are unable to drive due to physical limitations. Must have a current drivers license and be willing to volunteer 1-2 Sundays a month.
