Worship Ministries

Worship Visuals and Streaming

Adults and youth are always needed to assist with the visual aspects of our worship services. From running the Powerpoint slides, operating a camera, controlling our online feed, there are many opportunities for tech-minded folk to be of service.

​

Acolytes

Adults and youth have the opportunity to help facilitate worship at Zion by lighting our candles. This special opportunity to be part of the worship service is facilitated on a monthly rotation under the guidance of Director of Youth and Family Ministry, Kaylene Orr.

For information, contact ZIon at 319-235-7045 or by email.

 

Altar Guild

This group of people serve Zion by caring for the altar furnishings and vestments.

 

Bus Drivers

Zion provides transportation to and from the 8:30 a.m. worship service every Sunday morning. Drivers are normally scheduled one Sunday a month. If you would like to ride the church bus, contact Diana Hawker at XXX

 

Communion Preparation

This ministry takes place in the Sacristy on Sunday morning before the worship service begins. The team prepares the bread and wine to be served to the congregation during communion every Sunday before our 8:30 a.m. worship and on festival days. At the close of worship, the team puts away the elements and washes all of the communion ware in readiness for the next Lord’s Supper.

 

Communion Assistants

Volunteers work as part of the teams that assist the pastor in serving communion every Sunday morning.

 

Greeters

If you enjoy meeting people with a friendly smile, you may want to become part of the greeter ministry. Greeters are often the first people members and visitors meet at the beginning worship. The time commitment is minimal, but it can make a lasting impression.

​

Scripture Readers

Congregational members read the lessons of the day during worship services. The lessons are provided in advance.

 

Ushers

Zion is looking for ushers to welcome worshipers, assist with collecting the offering, and guide people to communion. After worship, they collect attendance information and pick up items left in the pews.

​

Coffee Hosts

What would church be without coffee and cookies? Every Sunday we offer fellowship following worship in Fellowship Hall, hosted by Zion members and friends.

 

Funeral Receptions

Families of members often plan receptions at Zion following the funeral of a loved one. A dedicated group of individuals’ staff these receptions, prepare light food, serve and clean up.

 

Home Communion

Members of the congregation take communion from Zion’s worship to home-centered members on a regular basis. Contact ZIon’s Office (319-235-7045) to volunteer for this ministry.
