Gatekeepers

MISSION: As the Saturday service is less formal than the Sunday services, there are no ushers, acolytes, or assisting ministers. The goal/mission of the Gatekeepers is to assist the Pastor by performing some of these functions.

HOW IS THIS DONE:
 On Saturdays, the Gatekeepers arrive early and unlock the doors, take the flowers for the altar, place them in the vases and put them on the altar.
 They put the small table in the double door entrance and place the bulletins on it.
 They set up the altar with the communion items and assist the Pastor at communion time by serving the wine.
 They light the candles before the service and extinguish them afterwards. They also take the offering at the appropriate time.
  After worship they put away the communion items, make sure all doors and windows are closed and locked and all lights are off.

MEETINGS: We have no meetings. Anyone who attends the Saturday service on a fairly regular basis can volunteer to become a Gatekeeper by contacting Pastor or any of the current Gatekeepers. Training is done at Church before the service. We would really like to have a few more volunteers and then you would only serve about once every other month.
