Our church has been blessed with ushers who love their job, some of whom have been diligent in their service to the local, district, state and national services.\u00a0 Among them is Minister Bruce Grimmage who is currently our Local President as well as our District President of the Greater Gainesville District.\u00a0 Missionary Shirley Herbert serves as our local Assistant President.<\/p>\n<p>Ushering at Upper Room is viewed as a service rendered to God and an act which plays a part in conducting the worship service. When the ushers gather in church to worship God, they do so to receive from Him grace and blessings through the Word and sacrament and to offer Him their sacrifices of prayer, praise and thanksgiving.<br \/>\nAt Upper Room COGIC, the ushers are seen as a part of the worshipping congregation.\u00a0 They know that there are particular acts to perform in the services, just like our Pastors, musicians, singers, and anyone else who renders service. What they do is not &#8220;as unto men, but unto God&#8221; (Col 3:23).\u00a0 Each usher knows that everyone they greet, everyone they meet, everyone they seat, and everyone they serve should be done as unto the Lord for they are each representatives of our God.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-169'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-169","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":171,"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/169\/revisions\/171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urwelcomehere.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
