Worship Support Ministry

Do you ever wonder . . .
 
WHO recruits the ushers . . . the assisting ministers . . . the communion assistants
WHAT does it take to arrange all those flowers or other decorations that appear in the sanctuary?
WHEN are service schedules established or changed (and why)?
WHERE to go to get involved in worship leadership (and what that means)?
HOW to find a way to make my worship life take on new meaning?
 
and finally….

WHY is ANY of this important?           

Our mission is to serve God by providing opportunities for an active and spiritually meaningful worship life for all members of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. THIS IS NO SMALL TASK!

While Worship Support doesn’t directly plan services, its members provide crucial support. Ministry members accept different areas of responsibility and seek to involve all parish members with spiritual gifts in the following areas:
Assisting Ministers   
(lay persons who read the lessons and lead prayers during  worship)   
Communion Setup and Clean up
Communion Servers 
(those who aid the pastors in serving the bread/wafers)           
Flowers & Decorations 
(organize the ordering and arranging of floral displays for seasons & festival Sundays)
Ushers
(2-4 scheduled for each Sunday morning service)
Candles & Paraments 
(paraments are the seasonally colored cloths that adorn the altar and pulpit)

Although not directly planned by this ministry, music continues to be a fundamental part of our worship experience here at Prince of Peace. WHAT GIFT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU THAT YOU MIGHT BRING GOD HONOR AND PRAISE? Our staff musicians, Judy Baseman, Sondra Joten or Colleen Perrine would be thrilled to help you find your niche.
