ANNUAL USHERS DAY Sunday 19 FEBRUARY 2012..

Mission: To be doorkeepers in the house of God, and guard the same at all times during Eastside Baptist Church services. “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness” (Psalms 84:10).

Vision: To develop a ministry that provides ushers and usher services for Eastside Baptist Church worship services and special activities.

Duties: Ushers are forerunners – for they prepare the Church for the guests by being among the first to arrive at Church, they receive the order of the day from the Pastor, they see that the Church is in proper condition to receive guests, and they see that required worship service items are distributed to the congregation as needed.

Ushers’ Ministry Programs:

1. Senior Usher Ministry: This ministry consists of Senior Ushers (ages 22 and older) and provides usher services on Sundays at the11:00 am Sunday services (exception: 3rd Sundays). Weekly meetings will be held on Thursday at 7:00 pm.
