Jooyu! D2! Spartans!

ALOHA!!:))
usher ministry is the first ministry i serve in when i'm less than one month old as a christian
and frankly speaking, i never thought that i will become an usher!
i remember one day, my leader asked me if i want to join a ministry and what ministry i wana join. at that point of time i wasnt sure what serving in a ministry actually mean so i told her anything. and the next thing i know, im in usher!!
i wasnt sure of what an usher suppose to do and i thought it's another thing in church where i can have fun and learn more things! im absolutely right!
i went for usher training held by Jianming and learn alot of things! how to arrange chairs, how to collect offerings, what to do in case of emergency and also the purpose of an usher.

truly, through usher i really break away from my comfort zone.

i was positioned at the glass door with Winifred for my first duty. and through usher, i really learn how to smile more and greet people even when i dono who are they. in the past, i never smile or talk to stranger at all. but because of usher, i had learn to smile even to stranger. and also in usher i grew to be a better person. i had learn how to discipline myself to bring deoderant and mints for every duty without fail and also wearing the correct attire as they are COMPULSORY!
and even though we always greet people with "hi, welcome to Heart of God Church!", i'm never sick or tired of saying that! it may be the same old sentence, but because of this, you will make people feel welcome!

in usher, we not just on duty for our own services, we are even on duty for FOP, IGNITE which happen only once a year. we will be ushering ALOOT of people there and it's really something not everyday we will be able to do. we will be able to know how is it like to usher so many people. and personally i LOVE it♥! you get to work with different kind of people and it really will train you in what to do if a certain situation arose.

even though usher is a strict ministry, we still had alot of fun too!! there's usher gathering and usher chalet and these really bond every usher tgth! even though till now, i only managed to go for ONE usher gathering, but during that gathering everybody was really having alot of fun! we get to meet people from other teams and also from the adults team! the games we played are CRAZY FUN! haha! i didnt know how much fun ushers gathering can get until i went for one myself and experience how much fun they were having!

why did i stay on in usher? 1.the friends i made in usher are just AWESOME! great bunch of people to hang out with. 2. my chief ushers really impacted me, teaching me alot of things, caring for every one of the ushers. 3. in usher, you had alot of fun. 4. i learnt to discipline myself in usher. 5.USHER IS JUST GREAT! i don need anymore reasons for me to stay in usher~!

at the end of 2008, i wana do more things in usher! grow in usher! serve God more! serve people more!


I'M PROUD TO BE IN USHER MINISTRY!!:))
