Communion Procedures:

3 or 4 ushers are needed

 

○ 1 or 2 stand in the middle of the aisle at the front (acts as a gate)

○ The other 2 ushers dismiss people (1 on each side of aisle)

○ Ushers come forward as Pastor communes Assistant

○ The 2 dismissing ushers release entire pews at one time

○ Center usher is responsible for counting

○ Keep families together-(It’s better to have open spots at the rail than to divide families)

○ Stop between families if next family will overfill rail

○ Count children as a spot at the rail no matter how old or how small the children are.  It’s better to have    

    an open space at the rail than not enough space.
