Serve in the Church
Immediate Needs
While there are many places you can serve within the church, below are some of the areas in which we have immediate need for volunteers:
- Office Receptionist
- Sunday School Teachers
- Children's Ministry Hallway Coordinator
- Meal Ministry / Care Calendar Team
Below are just a few ways to serve the community of All Saints. Not only for ourselves but also that we may serve others in Austin and around the world. If you have a heart to serve or gifts that you are able to use within the church, please let us know. Contact Sonya Menges with an area in which you would like to serve, and she will have the appropriate person contact you.
Sundays & Beyond
Children's Ministry
There are a number of ways, from Sundays to weekdays, that you can get involved with our Children’s Ministry.
Meal Ministry / Care Calendar Team
This is the place to actively serve those who are living through a period of particular need, such as an illness, surgery, or new baby. Whatever the case, opportunities exist to deliver a meal or provide for other needs of All Saints members and attenders.
CONTACT: Kara Dunleavy
Office Receptionist
Office receptionists staff the front desk of the church office during business hours. They receive guests, answer the phones, and generally present a warm, welcoming, and professional presence to any one who enters our doors or contacts the church.

Sunday Mornings Only
Choir
All Saints choir invites singers of all ages to participate with us in Sunday worship. Choir volunteers serve for one service (9:15 AM or 11:00 AM) a week, plus a one-hour mid week rehearsal.
- Rehearsal Wednesday night at 7:30 PM.
- Some prior choir experience is suggested.

Communion Preparation
At All Saints we celebrate the Eucharist (i.e. Communion, Lord’s Supper) every Sunday during worship as well as during special services.
Communion preparation teams make this possible. Teams of two or more people serve together setting the Altar table before the service and cleaning up after the service.
This is a great place for couples, families, or friends to serve together and contribute to an essential part of our worship service.

Greeter team
Greeter team volunteers typically serve once every 6-8 weeks at the service time of their preference (9:15 AM or 11:00 AM) and are asked to arrive 30 minutes early.
You are the first face of All Saints to newcomers and to members! Be kind, engaging and friendly. Be ready to answer questions and give directions (bathroom, children’s area, coffee, etc). Direct new guests to the Welcome Table and remain at the doors until 10 minutes after worship has started; then you are free to enter the sanctuary for worship.

Offertory
Every Sunday All Saints collects offerings during worship. Whatever is collected is brought forward and placed on the Altar table as a symbol of our offering back to God what He has given us.
We love for our entire church body - men, women, youth, single, married - to be represented in the people who collect the offerings.
The offertory takes place during the service. Those who are helping are assigned an aisle and help pass the bowls along the rows.

Ushers
Ushers typically serve 3-4 times per semester at the service time of their preference (9:15 AM or 11:00 AM) and are asked to arrive 30 minutes early.
Usher duties include: Passing out bulletins, helping with seating the elderly and latecomers if needed, and managing the service (i.e. headcount, man the doors, usher communion, offertory).
