The Ministry of Ushering is a vital part of any church ministry. Ushers represent the church in a very visible way, help set the tone in preparation for the worship service, and assist with the smooth operation within the service. Ushers assist when there is a disturbance, illness, or other situation that requires special attention. St. Bart's ushers sometimes are called upon to provide directions to facilities, to assist visitors to their seats, to provide a comfortable temperature in the church, and, if requested, to help people with special needs to enter or leave the sanctuary. To volunteer, or further information, please contact Theresa Kowal at 240-460-5756 or [email protected].
