The Gatekeepers: The Ushers Student's Workbook - Paperback

The USHER's purpose is also to present a first impression that, hopefully, sets the tone for each individual's worship experience. ..".In this world we are like Jesus..." (1 John 4:17 NIV). They do this by behaving in a welcoming, Christlike, manner and by providing any necessary assistance. ..".Therefore I ... implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called..." (Ephesians 4:1 NASB). ..".Walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you..." (1 Thessalonians 2:12 NASB). Ushers are watchful of those coming in and out of the sanctuary while maintaining a servant's attitude, keeping order, eliminating potential distractions, pleasing God, and making congregants or visitors as comfortable as possible. ..".Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects..." (Colossians 1:10 NASB). ..".Ye ought to walk and to please God..." (1 Thessalonians 4:1 KJV). The USHER's purpose, thus, is to assist in maintaining an orderly service and worship experience for regular congregants and visitors. ..".God is not a God of disorder but of peace..." (1 Corinthians 14:33 NIV). ..".Let all things be done decently and in order...." (1 Corinthians 14:40 KJV).
