Community Prayer - The community prayer is a prayer offered on behalf of the congregation by one person. This is meant as a time to share with God publicly what is on the hearts and minds of our community.
Invitation to Offering - This is a short reminder about the meaning of giving and an explanation of how people can give.
Reading Scripture - This is reading the scripture that will be used in the sermon for the week.
Singing/playing instrument as part of the team - Music as a group.
Singing/performing as a soloist - Music not as group.
Leading Communion (Consecrating) - Most weeks, the pastor will lead the congregation through the liturgy* of communion. There is nothing in our tradition that says it has to be a pastor, and at times, elders in the congregation lead in the blessing of the communion elements.
Amongst the People
Ushers/Greeters - Ushers and Greeters welcome people into the building, guide people to their seats, help people to find things like the restroom or snacks.
