SERVE IN WORSHIP
“Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of services but the same Lord, and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.” – 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
There are a variety of roles that are needed to create our worship experience each Sunday, and we invite everyone in our community to participate. Below are some ways to share your gifts for ministry during worship, including contact information and links to sign up to serve. If you have any questions, or have a new idea for how to serve, please contact the lead for each area of ministry or call the church office at 248-553-7170.

COMMUNION SERVER
CONTACT: PASTOR KRISTIN SWENSON | EMAIL | JOIN THE TEAM
Communion servers play an important and sacred role in helping serve the sacrament of Holy Communion to our congregation during worship. Communion servers assist the pastors in distributing communion by holding a tray of wine/grape juice on either side in the front of the sanctuary, and offering the words "the blood of Christ shed for you" to those receiving these elements.
