Worship Servant Descriptions
Acolytes – The word “acolyte” comes from a Greek word that means helper or companion. When you serve as an acolyte you are helping people feel a sense of God’s presence with the light of Christ in worship. Acolytes help set a joyful and reverent tone for worship and bring a sense of celebration and anticipation to the service. Thank you for being a leader at church!

Altar Care (Set Up Before Worship) – Serving on the altar care team is a great way to serve God and help people encounter a tangible experience of God’s love during worship through communion. Click here for the set-up guide.
Communion Bread Provider – Communion Bread is a central part of the Lord’s Supper, a sacrament in our church which sustains us in our life in Christ. Communion helps people feel a tangible sign of God’s love for them, it is a vehicle for the forgiveness of sins and reminder of the promise of everlasting life, it helps us celebrate the joy (Eucharist) of God, the abundance of God, the wide mercy of God, and helps us to remains close to God and connected with one another as the Body of Christ.

Counters – Counters are responsible for organizing all the offerings received during the service as well as anything that might have been collected during the week. They count all the cash and checks, record all offerings and prepare them for the bank deposit.
Lector (Reader) – Lectors are a vital part of proclaiming the life-giving Word of God. They read the scripture passages during worship, pray the prayers of intercession, and lead the dismissal. They also help with other designated readings during special services. Click here for the full lector guide.
Ushers and Greeters – Ushers and greeters help to prepare the worship space, welcome people as they arrive and help them throughout the service as needed. Often ushers and greeters are the first people that parishioners and guests encounter when they attend worship, so they are a vital part of people experiencing a sense of God’s wide welcome and hospitality here at Good Soil. Because of that, please make intentional effort to be warm, friendly, and inviting. Your ministry makes a difference, thank you! Click here for the full usher and greeter guide.
