Four Things Church Ushers
Should Do
Paul Gilvary
Introduction
A fellowship-trained and board-certified spine specialist, Dr. Anil Kumar Kesani
practices at SpineMD, where he focuses on minimally invasive spinal surgery and
disc replacements. Dr. Anil Kesani incorporates the latest developments and
treatments in spinal care to speed up and optimize patient outcomes.
A resident of Bayside, New York, Paul Gilvary holds a master's degree in management and
is an experienced high school math teacher. Paul Gilvary also possesses extensive
knowledge and expertise in the educational admission process. Dedicated to supporting
St. Robert Bellarmine Church, Mr. Gilvary serves there as an usher.
Being an usher in the church is a role that involves assisting people who are attending
services and religious events and which ultimately serves God. Following are four
important things an usher should do.
Dress formally
Ushers should be dressed neatly and respectfully for their role rather than wearing
loud neckties or sports clothing that is not appropriate for a formal church gathering
such as a Sunday morning service.
Assist worshippers
Ushers should be attentive to the needs of worshippers by providing all church
attendees with a bulletin and directing them where to sit. They should also be
knowledgeable about specific seating sections that are most appropriate for people
who have hearing or mobility impairments.
Greet attendees
It is the role of the usher to create a good impression of the church by making
people feel welcome by greeting people warmly, but not in a way that is loud or
by using a dramatic gestures.
Get training
Ushers should participate in usher training meetings regularly to help them
prepare for their work, discuss challenges, and exchange ideas. Being informed
about the ushering role helps to ensure problems are avoided in advance.
