Worshippers who are trying to make their way to be in the presence of God are affected by the first persons they see and the look on the faces of those persons. The doorkeeper is the first responder to the people’s anticipation and expectations. The doorkeeper’s position is that of a spiritual conduit. And their role is more important that readying the sanctuary in anticipation of that day’s worship attendees.Įli Wilson, Jr., who prepared today’s worship unit, writes: They are more than the collectors of the offering during worship. However, they do more than show us to our seat or tend to the congregation during worship. Their smiling faces and pleasant demeanors set the atmosphere for our worship experience. They ensure that we are welcomed and comfortable. Ushers are the first people we encounter during a worship service they meet us at the door. The role of the usher board (which can include a nurses guild) is considered one of importance and honor within black churches. student, Candler School of Theology at Emory University, Atlanta, GA

Simon, Guest Cultural Resource Commentator Mount Calvary Holy Church of America Inc., Washington, D.C. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.Annual International Ushers and Nurses Guild Convention Grand March, April 3, 2009, Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name. You shall tread upon the lion and adder the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 11 For He will give His angels charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. Only a spectator shall you be as you witness the reward of the wicked.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I trust! For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. usher anniversary poemsīible based black church usher poems below here The Lord is our refuge I have adapted the poem for the book of psalms 91 which is my favorite chapter.
