Consider Joining Our Hospitality Team As An Usher
Create a warm and welcoming environment during our worship services.
Worship is the centerpiece of our life together as God’s people. With four opportunities for worship each weekend, it takes all of us together to make worship happen. We are very blessed with many members who are willing to serve the church as an usher. We typically need 2-4 ushers at each of the weekend services, and we are always looking for new volunteers. We especially need ushers at the 11 a.m. Sunday worship service! If you are interested in becoming a member or have questions, please contact the church office at 419-874-4346 or info@zoarlutheran.com. We will happily provide training for all new ushers and will work with you to accommodate your schedule.
- CURRENT USHERS: If you are unable to serve at your assigned time, please arrange for a substitute by contacting the individual directly and then calling our Church Secretary at 419-874-4346. Thank you!
