Opportunities to Serve in Worship
Connect Through Worship and Worship Planning
Our Traditional Service is held at 8:45 AM and the Contemporary service is held at 11:00 AM. Spanish Fort UMC provides guidance and training to equip all who seek to get connected! Here is how you can get involved.

Once a month you can help by re-stocking pencils, attendance sheets, and resources in the Sanctuary pews. Contact: Gail Yance 626-2788
Communion Helper

Communion Server Coordinator
If you have good organizational skills, this is the perfect connection point for you. This person schedules those people who have signed up to help serve communion each month. Contact: Contact: Church Office
Worship Preparation
As the Christian calendar changes, so do the color of the paraments in worship. You could help prepare the space by making sure the right colors are present, checking the oil in the candles, and making sure the space is set up properly. Contact: Church Office
Baptism Helper
A baptism is a special occasion for the entire church - it is the moment when a person is sealed with water and the Spirit, marking them as a member of God's family. When we are blessed to experience the sacrament of baptism in our worship, you can connect by helping prepare the elements, being here to greet the family, and taking a photo for us to share. Contact Lynn Langley 401-9876
Audio / Visual
To help make the worship experience been seen and heard in the best way, you can connect by learning to operate the sound board/lights/presentation software for worship, youth, children, or other events. Contact: Al Jacobi 753-5143

Active Worship
If you find yourself excited to come to worship, are comfortable speaking to crowds, and truly want to connect others during worship, then you would be perfect to participate in different aspects of the service.

Acolytes
In Traditional worship Acolytes bring the Light of Christ into the Sanctuary and put it on the altar, reminding us always of the God whom we worship. These important helpers assist the pastors weekly with the services, as well as in the sacraments of baptism and communion. To sign up, you must be in the 5th grade or older and you must complete the annual Acolyte training. For more information, contact the church office at 626-1334.
