Worship Committee is responsible for all aspects of worship. The committee consists of the minister, music director, and two members – with individuals and teams responsible for the many tasks required for holding services: ushers and greeters, the audio visual team, readers, décor, preparation of communion elements, tidying pews... significant and sustained work is required in three key areas: (1) planning, preparation and organization of worship materials by worship leaders, including readers, singers and musicians; (2) implementation of protocols by greeters and ushers to ensure the safety of all involved in any aspect of worship; and (3) live-streaming of in-person services in the sanctuary.
A typical in-person service requires the weekly work of the choir of up to 13 (including choral scholars), each of our five staff, plus up to 22 others in the following areas: sanctuary decorations & maintenance, hymn boards, communion element preparation/distribution, registration, ushers, delivery of hard-copies of services, finding readers, audio-visual, Facebook and YouTube site maintenance and up-dating, accounting for donations. For communion Sundays, the elements – whether prepared commercially or on our premises – are also distributed to the homes of those not able to attend in-person worship. Our thanks to all the many people who, week in and week out, are involved in making our corporate worship meaningful, inclusive – and safe!
