There are 24 usher teams, 8 serving on any given weekend. Each team serves one month and off two months. In other words each team serves only 4 months out of the year but the months it serves, it serves every Sunday in that month and always with the same team members. In the event that one cannot serve on an assigned Sunday the usher must obtain a replacement by calling an usher on one of the two non-serving teams.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing contact Len Cook by telephone or email.
