St. Paul’s, Ivy has a dedicated group of ushers numbering between 35 and 40 men, women and young people whose main function is to warmly greet and welcome members and guests for each Sunday church service.  Working singly for the 8:30 a.m. services, in pairs for most 10:30 a.m. services, and in larger teams for Youth Sundays and special services, the ushers find their work to be very satisfying and rewarding. 

Our goal is that ushers serve only once each quarter.  Service takes very little preparation; we operate under easily understood guidelines. New ushers are teamed with more experienced members.  It takes  no time at all to become a veteran usher.  And there is no better way to meet our fellow parishioners  than by sharing a handshake and a friendly greeting with them as they enter the church. 

Anyone can perform these friendly duties - and we especially need young people to act as ushers on Youth Sundays.  If you are interested in joining the Ushers’ Guild, please contact the church office at spivyva@aol.com.
