Once we are inside, we will proceed to the 4 terrace blocks allocated to
RiverLife Church for Saturday night’s duty.
At our 4 blocks, we’ll assume positions and responsibilities for these areas.
- cordoning off our terrace areas till ground arena (below us) is filled.
- upon instructions, we’ll open our terrace blocks, filling from bottom up.
- once our blocks are filled, the other teams will open the balcony seats above us.
- handing out free magazines, small offering envelopes, flyers etc as they come in.
- ushering people to the seats, ensuring safety and orderliness at all times.
- help direct people to restrooms or exits if required.
- control the movement of people returning from restrooms during Word time.
- help minimize (especially children) noise when the Word is preached.
- help direct people down during altar call.
Communication channels
- RLC ushers will take cues from our RLC supervisors
(myself as Main IC asst by 2ICs Jennifer and It loong, and Cordelia as Youth IC).
- myself will be cued by CHC ushers, and CHC ushers by their Chief usher Francis.
Note:
offering will be collected by the CHC ushers. Our role is to keep a watchful eye on
the C4 envelopes that are being passed around. Report incidents up if they happen.
We can assist in passing them at row ends etc but eventually CHC ushers will
consolidate them.
