Ushers
Church ushers are missionaries for the church for they perpetuate the spirit throughout the congregation. They see that the church is in proper condition to receive parishioners; they see that hymnals, the Book of Common Prayer, church literature, collection envelopes, and other items for the congregation are in their proper places. The usher meets the people with a pleasant smile, a warm welcome, and directs them to comfortable seats. They take up offerings during the service and perform other assigned duties. Ushers are always needed.  To volunteer, contact the Parish Office at 516/798-1122..
