Sunday Worship Volunteers
Join us every Sunday at 10:00 am
Each Sunday, Glendale is in need of worship volunteers to help during the service, such as greeters, ushers, and tech team, to make sure all goes smoothly and to troubleshoot when stuff comes up.
There are many ways to get involved at Glendale UMC. If you are looking more for community outreach, check out our community connections page. If you are looking more for small groups, check out our small groups page.

Greeter
Since Glendale is all about loving God and loving others, we like to have someone welcoming folks in as they arrive for service. As people enter the building be sure to have them check their name on the "Our Welcome Sheet". Be ready to show folks where the bathrooms are, point to the sign with the wifi password, and hold an umbrella for folks coming in if it’s raining. We also have a wheelchair if anyone needs that assistance.
Usher
Make sure folks have their bulletins and a hymnal if they like. Offer our kids’ bags; invite guests to leave us their contact information so that we can extend a fuller welcome to them later on in the week. Later on in the service, bring the prayer requests up to the pastor and put the offering on the altar as the church prays over the gifts given. Lastly, get a head count of how many folks are here and record this information.
Tech Team
Any Power Point groupies ready to help the rest of us follow along in worship? Or would you like to run the live-stream and camera?
(There is a joystick involved.)
Liturgist
Have a little drama?!? Want to bring the scripture to life? Sign up to read during worship. We’ll send you the passage the Thursday or Friday before the Sunday you signed up for, so you have time to practice saying those hard names with confidence! If you’d like to read in another language, please do so!
Song Leader
Do you love singing and have a great voice? Help the congregation in hymn singing during the service! You do this in your very own seat by simply singing louder and assisting in the songs.
Special Music
If you have a special talent, such as singing or playing an instrument, that you would like to share with us during worship, this one’s for you!
