Acolytes

Children must be at least 8 years old to be in the Acolyte program at BUMC. Acolytes play an active role in our Sunday morning worship services. Special training is available for those who wish to assist with Holy Communion. If your child would like to become an Acolyte, please contact the church office at (270)443-2401, so they can be included in the next training class.

Greeters

Each Sunday morning greeters are located at the doors in the sanctuary to welcome worshipers to our church. Many times the Church Greeter is the first impression a visitor has of our church. It is not required that you know the name of each person who enters the church sanctuary. You don’t even have to recognize their face! Just relax and enjoy the experience of meeting new people. A smiling face, a handshake and a willingness to serve are all that is required to be a greeter. Greeters serve on a rotating schedule. Contact the church office at (270)443-2401 if you would like to be added to the greeter schedule.

Ushers

Ushers are an important part of our worship service. Like Greeters, sometimes the Usher is one of the first impressions a visitor has of our church. They also welcome persons who enter the Sanctuary and they distribute bulletins. When the Sanctuary is crowded, the ushers need to help find every available seat and then usher worshipers to that seat or seats. During the worship service, they pass the attendance pads and take up the offering. Ushers serve on a rotating schedule.
Communion Stewards- During Communion we serve at the rail and by intinction at stations. Lay volunteers are needed to help serve at all stations.
