I believe it was the fall of 2000. I approached Peter Lim and told him that it was weird for me to show up to Church and not serve. I thought I should be serving somewhere and not come to Church and just sit there. He suggested that I be an usher. I said yes, and from that day forward I was an usher. But to this day, I still don\u2019t know how I became the head usher. I do it enjoy it and I have been overseeing this ministry for the past 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Church is called to worship God with all their heart (Matthew 22:37), and in spirit and in truth (John 4:21-24). The worship service should reflect His character and nature because He is a God of peace and order, and not of strife and confusion (I Corinthians 14:33). The worship service must exalt and glorify God. So the ushers serve by helping others worship God without any distractions and help keep order during the worship service.<\/p>\n<p>The duties of the ushers are: collecting the offering, collecting white slips, door monitoring, some security duties, and assisting with administering communion.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a member of LBC and would like to serve in this ministry, please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Min Kim I still remember my first day as an usher.
