Hi guys,
I first joined usher when my leader, Pei Shan put me in usher ministry.
I didn't really know what it was though. I still remembered that it was a saturday when Pei Shan called Jazreel and told her we were in usher. Jazreel told me and she was really excited but i was thinking why she felt this way , so i pretended to be very excited too.
On my first day of usher, i did not bring mints nor deoderant as my usher
i/c didn't asked me to do so. I wore the wrong attire , i wore the one which the youth were supposed to wear. So my usher mate Hui Qi, at that time told me it was wrong and i started panicking. However , my i/c closed an eye since i was a new crew.
On my first duty, i didn't know what to do as i didn't go through usher training before.
So the more i did usher, the more i liked it. Except for the part when we had to pray as i was afraid of praying out. I remembered Mark was my usher i/c and he was really nice , he got things done quickly and he knew always what to do as he planned everything properly already. I really inspired to be and usher i/c just like him.
On the third week or usher, i remembered Jazreel and I were late.
And it was really funny. Jazreel and I were neighbours, so we decided to go church together. I was upstairs preparing and we Jazreel waited for me for about 3 minutes. The worse part was , we planned to meet at 12.30 when usher started at 1 . and we stayed at Telok Blangah , which was quite far. She arrived at my house downstairs at 12.42 and i reached at 12.45. So we arrived at dhouby ghourd around 1.30 She gave the excuse that she waited for me a very long time which was only 3minutes ! I was very furious at her at that time . But Jazreel and I now always joke about this and I think its really funny. But i learnt not to be late.
A few months later, i became an usher i/c. My first duty was to lead the usher team for the zone F camp. Nobody guided me and thus, everything went hay wire. My ushers did not listen to me .
Thus, i went to JianMing crying. JianMing discipled them and usher carried on as normal for that night. From that, i learnt that planning usher is really very important as you can keep track of what you're doing. From that week onwards, i led usher properly and with more confidence.
And to train myself not to be scared, I make sure i lead the team in prayer every single service as God will then move.
And just Decemeber last year, JianMing raised Mark, Jazreel and I as section leaders. Yupp, I really feel even though I'm leading ushers, I feel that I'm increasing in leadership quality.
So its really amazing, that through usher, God can use me and I can increase in leadership qualities. And i hope to become a chief usher in ZoneF when I'm around 15.
2 more years to go :D
Love,
SiLi

HEY!
this is lumbin from F1 Spartans! haha.
My 1st usher was in the last week of FTMS house, which was around july. My usher training was fun, but at the same time, tiring. Before I joined usher ministry, I had a choice to choose between usher and video crew! Between the 2, i chose usher because I felt that it was a challenge to me, and I knew that if i joined usher, I would grow to a whole new level in terms of helping and serving others.
My 1st time ushering was during Zone F service. At that time, I was quite afraid as I did not know what to do.I was in Fighters then, and Jazreel took over Mark as the SL. Before the service, we had to set up the chairs for Zone F to sit down. Zone F was not as big as it is now, but we still put in our best effort to do out best to do everything to their best.
After that ushering that week, I felt different as ushering really thought me how to bring myself lower and to serve and help people.
My 1st impactful incident was when Pastor How said that other churches praised our ushers being so warm and friendly towards people. At that time, I felt my spirit go up as ushers had been very well trained by our leaders. I also felt that we have alot to improve on and that we are able to cover up each other's weaknesses in ushering.
My 2nd impactful ushering was just last week, when the Zone F ushers ushered the whole auditorium on a saturday. This proved quite strenuous, but it was a meaningful experience. It was quite tough because I was a SL and there were only 4 people including me taking an entire section. We made a few mistakes here and there, and we were slow in what we were doing. However, we learnt from our mistakes and we improved gradually throughout the ushering. I learnt that we need to put in our best no matter what we do, whether we are ushering a small group of people or a large group. We need to put in our best into ushering people, as every soul impacted is a live saved. When newcomers are so impressed by our works, they will have another reason to come back every week!
I stayed on in usher due to many reasons, one of which is probably the joy and fun serving alongside my other friends and also to see the smile on other's faces when we serve them. This would make me very joyful as I started to enjoy serving others. Even though sometimes, usher was tough and we would get scolded, we knew that it was not just for our own good, but for the people we served as well. When we do things fast and efficiently, we would be able to serve others with more confidence and pride.
What i hope to be at the end of 2008 is that I want to be a SL and lead a section in the auditorium usher. That would be my target at the end of this year.
yeah! thats all! i hope you enjoyed reading it.

Hello peepzx!
I first joined usher when I was in Primary 6, hmm, around November 2006! (:
I still remember how I joined usher. I was telling Pei Shan, "wa, the ushers so cool, all dressed in black, i want to join USHER!"
hahaha, then a few days later, I received a call from Pei Shan. She told me that I'm in usher ministry and I can start duty on this particular day. (man, i cant rmb when)
I still rmb when Pei Shan called me, I was walking home with Sili!
Sili and I were really excited when we heard of this news. We jumped man.
And on my third duty, I was late! oh sian.
And it was because I waited for Sili for 3 minutes, and i pushed the blame to her, ha!
We got discipled, and i was really scared at that moment.
Looking back, i realised how selfish i was. But now, I've changed. Heart of God church changed me (:
One of the three incidents which i thought was really a unforgettable one, is the one which I didn't give offering for the First Row at Section B1. ;0
Ohmyohmy, it was really scary. It's the row where the Leaders and Pastors sit. And yet, as a "SL" (at that time), I didnt give the offering envelope! When I was collecting the offering envelopes from B1, Jian Ming suddenly snatched 1 offering envelope from me. At that point of time, i was thinking, how come Jian Ming suddenly like so angry and kan chiong!
Then I realised that it was because i didnt give the offering envelope for the first row.
He discipled Keegan, Aaron and I at the back of the audi.
I almost cried! Cause it was so terrifying. Jian Ming's tone was like, " Why! Why did this happened! "
Can you imagine with me now. hahah.
What led to this incident was miscommunication between Aaron and I. And yes, ushers, learn from this mistake.
As I usher more and more, i began to realised that actually usher ministry is quite exciting and fun! So, i decided to stay on (: [when i was a new crew, the part which i dislike most about usher is ARRANGING THE CHAIRS! lol.]
Oh yes, I want to be a Chief Usher of Zone F when I'm 15! hahaha.
Yes, it's possible yo :D
Loves,
Jazreel

Hi everyone!
Remember I went for usher training around August and it was Shanyong, who trained us.
I was very excited, partially due to the sharing about ushering, from Jianhong.
At that time, I was in Spartans, and not know so many people in church yet. But yet, I just got led by the Holy Spirit to come for the 1st usher duty, in FTMS House. That's when I start to know Michelle Yao, who made me didn't feel left out, when I was too early for the reporting time. That was also the beginning of my growth! Just after the first duty, I've learnt alot from Peck Hoon, Michelle Yao, and of course Peishan, who's the Chief Usher of the that day. I really feels that ushering is so fun. But just like what Peishan said that overtime the "fun" will just fades if you don't catch the heart of ushering in church, as you'll get tired of it. She even shared with us that its normal for a new usher to be so excited about ushering. However in order to be a great usher, let's not make it become a routine, but always a learning point, for every single duty.
Before I know, my second or third usher duty was already ushering in FOP!!!! I thought, it was IMPOSSIBLE! I HAVE NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO USHER IN FTMS HOUSE, MOREOVER 1000PEOPLE??!! Fortunately, it just happen that JianHong was the one leading my section, that I dared to ask him for guidance and I tried to imply whatever I've learning though the last 2 duties. It was almost every single moment, before the gates are open, when I can find JianHong that I asked him questions! I think I was to nervous, yet trying to hide it from being shown. Smiling as ushering people who are quite fierce, was really a challenge to me. Frankly speaking, I just thought that it was a GREAT experience, but never thought of becoming an SL. Turning back and think about it, I was quite impressed of my performance that day, leading people to their Destiny! It was really a great stretch for me, as I was quite new.
I not only wanna just lean on my own strength, but also God's strength!!
If I'm not wrong, the following usher duty, I was given the walkie! I was like
"HUH????? Why me? What to do with it?!"
So I was the SL for ET, even though I was not aware that walkie was meant for SLs until my name was stated as SL in the schedule. I always thought that it was only meant for easy communications, and ushers will take turn to use it. Not daring enough to communicate through the walkie, I would say the number of times whereby I used the walkie, was countable with my 2 hands, or even maybe 1 hand! Hahah! That day, I've learnt to start communicate through the walkie, as that's what it's for. So I made a stand that I'll use the walkie to communicate with the top.
Just 2 days ago, I just lead usher for End Times Bible Study!!!! That day, Noni really gave me opportunity to "show what I've got! Everything was run quite smoothly, with the alertness and the abilities for us, Chelsea and me, to having and carry out the spotaneous solutions in a crisis. But overall I think its quite fun. After the whole ushering, Jianming, our Head Usher, told me that its good!!! Hahah! He even told me that I've improved over time, from the 1st time leading on Vacation Bible Study 2008! Frankly speaking, I was very happy about it! XD
I've realised how much I've grown since the first time I started ushering till now!
I believe there'll be more things to come! I'm so excited when I know I can just grow in this ministry!
There may be problems coming up your way, but always be bold and overcome it!
Jesus is by your side! :D
Be confident! hahah!
I'm gonna rise up to be a spiritual ZAIZAI SL by April, and a Chief Usher by June! As I observe how the Chief Usher think and operates. :D
Hahah!! I just love to be in usher ministry!! Just LOVES for Usher!!! XP
(Hey ushers out there! Also learn from my mistakes k? Hahah!!)
Love,
Evi

Hi Everyone!

Ushered into my destiny (:
Hi everyone, I'm Nadine and today I would like to share with you about my journey in Usher Ministry! Hahaha. Machiam testimony.
Anyway, I first came to church on 11th December 2005. Of course, me being me, I was so good that I even came for the countdown on 31st December. And on that day, usher ministry impacted me!
You must know that FTMS had a very small audi. During the first part which was CREATE, no chairs were set up because there were just no space. Then we had about 15-20 mins break before we returned for Heart Awards. And within that short period of time, I see so many people walking to and fro, from the Art Gallery to the audi. And they just kept carrying chairs, putting it down, and repeated this process. And some of them were still in their Create outfits! I was like, WOAH, who are these super cool people mannnnnnnnnnnnn. And of course they were our wonderful....
USHERS!!!!
And then I told Samantha Foo, my CGL, that I wanted to join usher ministry! So I started my first duty on 16th April 2006, which was also Easter Sunday! It was just amazing with such a crazy bunch of people. I remembered Red Rain soon came and it was like my 2nd - 3rd duty. Super nervous. I was only the gate usher but I knew it was an important role because I would determine if the flow is good..
My first Chief Usher was none other than... Tan Jian Ming! And my first 2nd IC? Cherie Low! Haha.
Jian Ming was so nice to me on my first duty! He assigned one usher to me to take care of me, that usher was Cheryl Chan! (Yes, that one from Zone F. Haha) Then we had some time before doors opened and he kept asking me to go drink water! Hahahaha. Really felt so loved as a new crew!
Of cos I learnt many things along the way... I strongly believe that if I was not in Usher Ministry, I would not rise up as fast. Usher Ministry taught me the importance of passing down the right info, to think for people, to be alert & sharp..
I remembered my first duty as a Chief Usher. I was super scared the days before. I was afraid I won't do a great job! Come on lah, we're also humans!!! Of course will be scared too! Haha. But I really prayed and God told me to step out of my comfort zone, and go to a new level. That was a breakthrough not only in ministry, but my own life as well (:
Now in this new place, God has really brought us to a whole new level, a professional level. But you know what, we still have the usher family feeling. That's what I like about Usher Ministry. When we usher, we chiong, people would think, they're just so good at what they're doing. But when we play.... Muahahaha. Everyone beware! We just go CRAZY!
Looking forward to Usher Ministry 2.0.
It's gonna be amazing.
I love Usher Ministry to the MAX. Do you? (:
