As we share in these roles together, as the body of Christ, we keep our goal in mind: to make disciples of Jesus who grow deep roots and lasting fruit. Each role (and others not listed here) will either be directly about making disciples, or will enhance that activity (e.g. Reading Gods word is powerful for disciple-making; cleaning chairs and touch-points ensures safety during our disciple-making).

 

 

Bible Reading

When the Bible is read really well, it enhances our understanding. When serving in this role you will have read the passage multiple time, out loud, to prepare. Please pray for the hearing of God's word during the week.  Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on Bible reading.

 

 

Prayer

Part of every Christian gathering is the awesome priviledge of speaking to God through prayer. We usually say prayers all together, and also have one person prepare prayers they say on behalf of all of us. Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on serving this way.

 

 

Hall Set Up/Pack Up

Creating a space for our gathered worship time is important, as is caring for the equipment when we pack it away. Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on the hall set up and pack up.

 

 

Offertory Counting + Service Register

After every Sunday Gathering we have two people count  the cash given in the Red Giving Container, entering this detail into Our Church (elvanto) and entering into the Service Register Book the information about the service - including counting how many attended. Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on Offertory Counting and Service Register completion.

 

 

Audio Setup (and key holder)

Being able to hear what people upfront are praying and saying is important in our times of gathered worship and disciple-making. We have a great team who can teach you how to set up and run the audio gear.

 

 

Projector

To help people engage with the service we have arranged for the Proclaim program (and a Zoom meeting during Church at 10am) to run from a laptop, through a projector. Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on the Projector and Proclaim role.

 

 

Welcomer

We want to welcome people as they join us for our Sunday Gathering. Where they are new to church we want to help them get oriented to the building and be introduced to others. When welcoiming regulars we want to invite them into this time of worship and learning from God's word. Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on the Welcoming role.

 

 

COVIDsafe Tea and Coffee Serving

We have returned to serving tea and coffee both in the coffee break and at the end of Church at 10am. Please see the detailed role description for more guidance on how this is done.
