Service

Set-Up

Each week 1-2 people are scheduled to set up all equipment for the band. They will arrive at church 2.5 hours before service starts. We ask that these volunteers arrive early so that they can set up the platform and still allow time for the band to rehearse that morning. No audio or musical knowledge is required.

Tear-Down

Each week 1-2 people are scheduled to tear down all equipment from the platform. Tear down begins right after the service and takes about 30 minutes. There is minor heavy lifting involved.

Is this for me?

We are looking for individuals who are able to arrive early and/or stay later after the service. These volunteers do not need to have any musical or audio knowledge. Rather we are looking for volunteers who can do minor heavy lifting and have a heart to serve not only the congregation, but specifically the worship band playing that Sunday.

Set-Up

Since Terra Nova rents its worship space, we need 1-2 volunteers to arrive early to set up the facility for the service. These volunteers are in charge of setting up all tables, chairs, signs, rugs and anything else that Terra uses during the service. This team is essential to Sunday services. They set up the entire place so that we can worship our God together in a place that cultivates an atmosphere of worship and presents the values of Terra Nova.

Tear-Down

Terra Nova wants to be good stewards of the space we rent. This means that after we are done using the building for the day we want to put it back into the condition it was before we got there (or better). This means tearing down chairs, signs, and rugs. As well as putting other furniture back to where it was before we entered the building for the day. This team has a great opportunity to witness to those who we rent the building from. We want to show those who use the building that we are thankful for hosting us and be an example of Christ’s kindness and love by cleaning up after ourselves well and in a timely manner.

Is Set-Up For me?

We are looking for volunteers who we can depend on to be at Terra Nova early in the morning. This team is essential in the set-up process and must be done with set-up in a timely manner. Volunteers should know that there will be minor heavy lifting involved.

Is Tear-Down For Me?

We are looking for volunteers who don’t mind minor heavy lifting involved in tear down. We encourage these volunteers to have a friendly demeanor as they may interact with others who do not attend Terra Nova, but will be using the space once we are finished. Having a heart that desires to be a reflection of Jesus by our simple actions is beneficial in serving on this team.

Description

Each week multiple volunteers are scheduled to welcome people to the church and and direct them as needed. These volunteers will typically be serving 20 minutes prior to service time and during the first 2 worship songs.

Is this for me?

We are looking for individuals or couples who have a friendly demeanor and enjoy interacting with meeting new people. We ask those greeting to have a genuine sense of warmth and welcome about them. These volunteers must be comfortable going out of their way to introduce themselves to those they do not know and by gifted at hospitality.

Each week there is one person scheduled to run the ProPresenter during service. This volunteer will arrive 15 minutes before the service starts. They will be given an order of service as well as a cue sheet for the sermon.

Is this for me?

We are looking for individuals who are willing to sit at the ProPresenter computer during the service. It is important for these individuals to keep close attention to what is occurring on stage, as we want the screen images to be displayed at the correct time.

Description

Each week three volunteers are scheduled, for a Sunday service, to serve communion to the church body. They will stand in the front of the worship space and hold the matzo and wine and juice. As each person comes forward and dips their matzo in the wine or the juice, those serving communion will reinforce its meaning by saying “the Lord’s body broken for you” and “the Lord’s blood shed for you”. 

Is this for me?

We are looking for individuals or couples who are comfortable standing in front of the congregation, looking each person in the eyes and clearly and loudly speaking words to each person who comes forward to take communion. We hope those serving communion can have a warm and welcoming presence to those who come forward.

Each a volunteer is scheduled to set up all atmosphere supplies. A binder is provided with pictures of the current atmosphere set up. Volunteers will use the pictures as a guide for setting up each week.

Tear-Down

Is Tear-Down For Me?

We are looking for individuals who are organized as that is an important part of tear down and we encourage those who join to be gifted in this area.

(*Note: due to COVID-19 related concerns, the format for receiving tithes and offerings by passing receptacles has been discontinued. Electronic giving is encouraged.)

Each week two volunteers are scheduled, per service, to count the offering. Those serving will collect the pails after they have been passed around at the end of the service. They will then count the money in a designated area and will out a spreadsheet.

Is this for me?

We are looking for individuals who are comfortable handing cash and large amounts of money alongside another volunteer. We ask that these individuals are detailed oriented and able to keep confidence regarding the giving of others. Counters are never asked, nor allowed to handle money individually.

Description

(*Note: Terra Nova-Troy is currently offering a single Sunday morning service at 10am. Turn-around volunteers are not needed until such a time as we return to a multiple service format.)

Each week two volunteers are scheduled to prepare the worship space for the next service. The volunteers should begin turn around no later than 10 minutes after the first service. They will take down extra chairs and re-stock any atmosphere supplies that are low. Turn around will be completed 15 minutes prior to the start of the next service.

Is this for me?

We are looking for individuals who are able to stay after the first service for about 15 minutes (or arrive 30 minutes prior to the 11am service). Volunteers on this team will have a check list to complete in order to prepare the worship space for the second service. Those who are detailed oriented are well equipped to serve on this team.
