Guidelines for Offering Collectors

 

  • At the beginning of the offering invitation, meet at the back of the church and proceed two by two forward, to pick up collection plates. The plates are on the bottom shelf of the usher tables on either side of the communion table at the front of the sanctuary.

  • Those closest to the windows go to outer side of the sanctuary and the other two collectors go down the middle aisle, making their way to the back of the sanctuary.

  • Once collection has been taken up, line up at the back of the sanctuary and proceed two by two to the front of church at the beginning of the offertory hymn.   Remain standing with your collection plate until the end of the offertory prayer.   At which point the member of the choir will pass their plate to the east side collector and then the outside collectors pass it to the collectors in the middle.  Those two collectors will take the offering to the church office for counting.  

  • If you are not able to fulfill your duty, please find a replacement and contact Karen at the church in order for her to adjust the bulletin at 506-773-9932  

 

Thank you to everyone!

                          Information for volunteers                                     (Please read the guidelines for your Sunday duty) 

If you are unable to attend on your scheduled week, please find a replacement and contact the office to advise so that a change may be made for the bulletin.

Guidelines for Lighting Christ Candle

  • The votive candle on the communion table will be lit in order to use the taper for the Christ candle.  

  • After reading your part, light the candle and remain standing while the congregation sings the first verse of scheduled hymn. 

 

Guidelines for Scripture Readings

  • Begin by reading the “Prayers for Illumination”.  

  • You may ask the congregation to join you even though it is not highlighted.

  • If doing a “Responsive Reading”, begin by announcing the Psalm number and page. Then pause as the choir sings the refrain, 2 times.  Also pause throughout the reading if you see an “R” (for refrain).  You may also ask people to stand at the beginning if you so desire.

  • For the scripture readings, announce name the book, the chapter and finally the verses. 

       ex.  Matthew (book) 5 (chapter) verses 12-20

 

Guidelines for Announcements 

  • Begin by acknowledging who the bulletins are dedicated to for the week. 

  • Follow by the memorials … do not mention the donor’s names.

  • Announce sympathies of the congregation and then any special occasions ie. Birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

  • Mention the flowers at the front of the church have been placed “in memory of” or “in honour of “ by donor’s name.

  • Be sure to thank the worship volunteers in their various duties … greeters, sound system, power point and choir

  • Remind the congregation of the meetings for the following week.

  • Briefly summarize events that are upcoming.

  • It is not necessary to go over “community events” as this may take up too much time.
