Ushering Ministry

by Min Kim

I still remem­ber my first day as an usher. I believe it was the fall of 2000. I approached Peter Lim and told him that it was weird for me to show up to Church and not serve. I thought I should be serv­ing some­where and not come to Church and just sit there. He sug­gested that I be an usher. I said yes, and from that day for­ward I was an usher. But to this day, I still don’t know how I became the head usher. I do it enjoy it and I have been over­see­ing this min­istry for the past 10 years.

The Church is called to wor­ship God with all their heart (Matthew 22:37), and in spirit and in truth (John 4:21–24). The wor­ship ser­vice should reflect His char­ac­ter and nature because He is a God of peace and order, and not of strife and con­fu­sion (I Corinthians 14:33). The wor­ship ser­vice must exalt and glo­rify God. So the ush­ers serve by help­ing oth­ers wor­ship God with­out any dis­trac­tions and help keep order dur­ing the wor­ship service.

The duties of the ush­ers are: col­lect­ing the offer­ing, col­lect­ing white slips, door mon­i­tor­ing, some secu­rity duties, and assist­ing with admin­is­ter­ing communion.

If you are a mem­ber of LBC and would like to serve in this min­istry, please let me know.
