The purpose of serving in the ushering ministry is to praise God and enable worshippers to do the same by assisting with the logistical details of worship. Ushers create an atmosphere of hospitality by arriving early and providing bulletins to arriving worshippers, guiding them to available seats, taking attendance, guiding collection plates to receive the offering, and handling post-service needs, including putting Bibles and hymnals back into place for the next service.
