2026 Sunday Worship Ministerial Schedule

We welcome your ministry with open arms. To join a Sunday worship ministry (Ushers/Greeters, Liturgists, Communion Steward, and Coffee Fellowship/Treats), please contact Sue engage@alexumc.org

If you need to make a switch, you can either let Sue know at engage@alexumc.org or call at 763-4624. If you make changes on your own, please let Sue know that as well.

Usher/Greeter – most often you are both! Greeting people as they come in – where they can hang their coat, give them a bulletin, overall being invitational. During worship, you may also be the acolyte (unless there are children present to do so) – this means light the candles on the altar during the first hymn and then snuff the candles out during the last hymn. 

As people place money in the boxes or basket as they enter the sanctuary you can combine the monies in the main box before the doxology is played. Then bring the box up to the altar as it is sung.

Liturgist – Scripture and all other passages that the liturgist would read for their assigned Sunday service are sent via email three days prior to the service unless requested to be sent sooner. Pr. Amy (or Sue) meets with all liturgists on Sunday morning prior to service. If a liturgist wants to practice their readings in the sanctuary prior to Sunday, they simply arrange that and we can have the mic and space prepared for them to practice.

Coffee fellowship – treats and clean-up… Bring goodies! Usually two pans of bars, 2 dozen cookies or a combination thereof is plenty. Bringing grapes or crackers and cheese works well too. Washing out the coffee pots, putting things away fellowship – these instructions are all posted in the kitchen. If Viva isn’t making the coffee, be sure to arrive 25 minutes prior to service to brew the coffee as well.
