Connect + Serve at Church

From serving at church to volunteering your efforts across the globe, there are many ways to serve God. At King of Kings, we have the resources and partnerships to help you answer your calling.

Worship Hospitality Team

The mission of the worship hospitality ministry is to provide a welcoming environment of love, acceptance, comfort, support, care, and unity for visitors, members, guests, and friends in order to enhance their worship experience, encourage fellowship, and help build a church community.

There are five different opportunities to partner with your church home in this ministry: Greeters, Ushers, Welcome Desk, Communion Assistants and Readers.

Below are brief descriptions of each part of the hospitality ministry. We welcome all ages and family groups to be part of this opportunity. For additional information or assistance please contact kathy.becher@kingofkingswoodbury.org.

Greeters

The greeters are the first faces people see when entering King of Kings, and they make sure you feel at home the moment you walk through the doors. This team arrives early every week in order to greet everyone with a friendly smile and a warm welcome.

Ushers

The ushers hand out service programs before worship, provide seating assistance, distribute offering baskets, guide communion procession and lightly clean the sanctuary following worship.

Communion Assistants

Aid in the distribution of communion during worship services. Working in pairs, communion assistants offer bread wafers or wine/grape juice with a blessing to worshippers. The communion lead assistant aids the communion assistants by monitoring their wine/grape juice tray and trading out their empty tray with a full one.

Readers

The reader delivers the weekly scripture and other relevant readings from the pulpit during all services. In doing this they give the Word a new voice to compliment the pastor’s sermon.

Welcome Desk

The Welcome Desk provides the first contact with visitors and members providing Gospel Hospitality to all who enter the building.

Prayer Shawls

The King of Kings Prayer Shawl Group knits and crochets shawls for those going through difficult times within our church home and community. At each monthly meeting, members turn in, label and bind the prayer shawls that have been completed during the previous month, discuss the current level of need for different sizes/types of shawls, read thank you notes that they receive, and most importantly, spend time knitting or crocheting on our current shawl projects.

Anyone who likes to knit or crochet shawls is encouraged to join as well as those who would like to learn how – we have many able teachers, instruction books, and materials. There are few more tangible and lasting ways to show someone how much God loves them than with a shawl crafted by prayerful, loving hands as a warm embrace whenever they need it.

For more information on the Prayer Shawl Ministry, contact Leeann Behling.

Prayer Team

Are you someone who knows and believes in the power of prayer, or would like to grow and learn more about prayer? We would love to have you be a part of this team. Our meetings consist of a time of prayer for the people of our congregation, the staff and all aspects of the ministries that occur here, along with prayer for our country, city and the leaders. We will explore different ways to pray and grow in faith together as we see how prayers are answered. The prayer team is also involved in assisting with the Advent & Lent Devotionals, National Day of Prayer and other.

Meeting dates and times will be determined based on team availability. If you would like to be a part of this team, please contact Pastor Amelia  or call the church office.

 

Caring Casseroles

Caring Casseroles is designed to provide a meal(s) to individuals and families in our church and community who are “in need” due to surgeries, illness, new baby, death in the family, and other unforeseen circumstances. If you like to cook or serve and help others, join us. When a need for meals arise, an email comes to you with the dates meals are needed. You have an opportunity to respond and if you can fill that need during that time then you will bring a simple meal to a very appreciative family.

This is such a beautiful and simple way to show the love and care of Christ to those who are in need of a little help and a break from the planning and cooking of a meal.

To learn more about Caring Casseroles and how to become a volunteer cook, please contact Dawn Swenson.

Adult Care Groups

Adult care groups offer support and solace in the face of difficult life challenges. All are welcome to these faith-affirming meetings where we share our experiences and find connection within the loving and empathetic King of Kings community. We would love for you to join us.

Cancer Support

Our Cancer Support Group meets every second Monday of the month from 6:30pm-7:30pm at King of Kings Lutheran Church.

Being diagnosed with cancer can be very scary and stressful.  Accepting our diagnosis is challenging. While every person’s cancer journey is unique to them, there is great value in building a camaraderie with those that can share their journey, faith and support.

Go to King of Kings Lutheran Church, located at 1583 Radio Drive. Enter through the office entrance, turn right down the hall, and turn right again into the Youth Room.
