KAIROS GREETERS
We do love volunteers, and greeting before worship is one of the most rewarding volunteer opportunities at FPC. We need volunteers to be greeters every Sunday for our 9:15am Kairos service in the fellowship hall. The job is easy, and you will have the opportunity to see your friends at church and meet some new friends!
The job begins at 8:55am, and duties include smiling and welcoming those attending the service, handing out bulletins, making sure the offering baskets are in place, making visitor bags available to our visitors, recording a head count, and collecting any offering and placing it under the door of the business office at the end of worship.
Please sign up or EMAIL CLAUDE DAVIS with any questions. Thanks!!!!
ACOLYTE/YOUTH LITURGIST
We would love to have our older children and middle school youth participate in our 11:15am sanctuary service as acolytes and youth liturgists. Please see the descriptions of these important roles below:
Acolyte: Walk down center aisle with flame during prelude at beginning of traditional service; light both candles in choir loft (plan to arrive at church around 11:00-11:05 to find Karl Thomason for further instructions and practice)
Youth liturgist: Read invitation to share God’s peace after prayer of confession/assurance of pardon and read prayer of dedication after offering; Heather or Richard will be at the lectern with the youth liturgist during the service, so they won’t have to stand alone (plan to arrive at church around 11:00-11:05 to find Heather or Richard for further instructions, practice, and a sound check on the microphone)
QUESTIONS? Email (kiki@hickoryfpc.org) or text (704-607-5980) Kiki Neale.
Thank you!
