Volunteer Opportunities in Worship

  • Sunday Greeters Needed for both the 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Services : Whether you’re a long-time member or a first-time visitor when you walk into St. Matthew’s you are welcomed with a “Good Morning!” from a smiling greeter. This important ministry needs more volunteers. You may sign-up here. If you have any questions about being a greeter contact the office at bschweitzer@stmatthewsumc.org.

  • Scripture Readers: We are looking for people of all ages to help lead us in worship as Scripture Readers and Communion Servers! Look for sign up sheets at the Welcome Center near the church entrance, or go directly to the online sign-up links: Scripture Readers Sign Up

  • Communion Assistance: If anyone would like to help out with communion, please sign up HERE or contact Pastor Chan at csuh@stmatthewsumc.org. Individuals and groups/families can sign up to help with the communion (up to 4 people). 

  • Usher: Become an usher and join an amazing group of volunteers who keep in-person worship running smoothly and safely. Contact Phil Guth, philgguth@gmail.com, to learn more!

  • Acolyte: We are looking for acolytes of all ages. Acolytes bring the light of Christ in by lighting the candles on the altar at the beginning of the service. They then take that light out into the world and extinguish the candles on the altar at the end of the service. If you would like to be a meaningful part of worship by acolyting, please sign up! No experience is needed. You must have at least completed 3rd grade (older kids, youth, and adults are welcome to participate!) Please arrive 15 minutes before worship (at 8:45) and meet with Ruth Anne (raluckenbaugh@stmatthewsumc.org) to go over what you need to know to acolyte for worship. Acolytes: Acolyte for St. Matthew's UMC (signup)

  • Children’s Worship Volunteers: Children’s Worship meets during the Worship service and is for all children ages 3-third grade.  Volunteer leaders are needed.  Please sign-up to volunteer here. Questions? Please contact Ruth Anne Luckenbaugh at raluckenbaugh@stmatthewsumc.org.

  • Musicians and Singers Needed for 11:15 Service: Can you play an instrument or sing? We are looking for volunteers to help with our Modern Worship service. Adults, youth and children are welcome to help! If you would like to help please contact Evan Hannah our Director of Modern Worship at ehannah@stmatthewsumc.org.
