[Bethany Lutheran Church] Help us plan for Christmas - Christmas Eve Worship helpers NEEDED!

Yes, we have quickly moved to December. 

This Sunday, November 30, is the 1st Sunday of Advent.  The 1st candle on the Advent wreath will be lit and we begin to prepare and wait for the birth of the Christ child.

Here in the office, we are busy preparing for our Christmas Eve Worship services and are in need of some worship helpers for each of our services as follows:   

5 p.m. Worship helper needs include:

  • 4 ushers:  the ushers greet people, pass out worship information and the candles for the candlelight hymn, collect the offering and direct people to communion.
  • 4 acolytes:  the acolyte role is not only to light the candles, but to help with the communion distribution.  They hold the cup of wine and the cup of grape juice for dipping and share the words "The blood of Christ shed for you".
  • 4 communion servers:  the communion server holds the communion cup, wipes it off after someone sips and says "The blood of Christ shed for you."   

7 p.m. Worship helper needs include:

  • 4 acolytes:  the acolyte role is not only to light the candles, but to help with the communion distribution.  They hold the cup of wine and the cup of grape juice for dipping and share the words "The blood of Christ shed for you".
  • 1 more communion server:  the communion server holds the communion cup, wipes it off after someone sips and says "The blood of Christ shed for you."

 10:30 p.m. Worship helper needs include:

  • 4 ushers:  the ushers greet people, pass out worship information and the candles for the candlelight hymn, collect the offering and direct people to communion.
  • 4 acolytes:  the acolyte role is not only to light the candles, but to help with the communion distribution.  They hold the cup of wine and the cup of grape juice for dipping and share the words "The blood of Christ shed for you".

Please check your Christmas Eve worship plans.  Then let me know as soon as possible (December 10 at the latest so this information can be included in the bulletins.) if you can help with any of these opportunities as we prepare celebrating the Savior's birth. 

THANKS!
