Worship and Hospitality

Choir

Singing three Sundays a month throughout the program year—September through Mother's Day—the Diamond Lake Choir is one of the hallmark ministries of Diamond Lake Lutheran Church. The choir sings a variety of music from across the centuries: timeless classics, a cappella pieces, contemporary anthems with instrumentalists, and other pieces from various Christian traditions. Several new members have joined the choir, and it continues to invite newcomers. All ages are welcome. If you have an inkling to sing, we already have a space, folder, and a robe for you! Rehearsals are typically the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Sunday mornings of each month at 8:45 am followed by participating in worship at 10 am. Please contact Choir Director Dr. Bruce Gleason for further information at brucegleason@comcast.net

Children’s Bell Choir (grades 3–6) 

Play bells during worship one Sunday a month, October to May, and for special services such as the Advent music service, Christmas Eve, Palm Sunday, and Good Friday. 

Carillon Choir (Adult Bell Choir)

Play bells during worship one Sunday a month, October to May, and for special services such as the Advent music service, Christmas Eve, Palm Sunday, and Good Friday. 

Special Music

Do you play a musical instrument? You are invited to share your talents during worship. Coordinate with the Music and Worship Committee for a date.

Audio/Visual and Tech Support

Every Sunday we stream our service for those who are homebound or traveling. This takes a team of people to make happen. No experience necessary. We’ll show you how to make the magic happen. 

Communion Assistant

Assist in serving Communion during worship, ensuring a smooth and contemplative experience, as well as setup and cleanup before and after the service.

Pray-Ground

The Pray-Ground keeps kids active and involved in the worship experience. After worship, that space is needed by others who use the sanctuary. Help put away the Pray-Ground elements following worship. It's a brief but necessary task. 

Readers

Readers are responsible for reading aloud excerpts of scripture during worship. (You’ll receive the text in advance!) Serve as your schedule allows. 

Sunday Morning Hospitality

On Sunday mornings, greet congregants and visitors upon arrival so that all feel welcome. Create an atmosphere of hospitality serving coffee and doughnuts following worship. Includes setup and cleanup.

Ushers

Welcome worshipers and provide them with information, service materials, and directions, helpting to assure a hospitable, fulfilling worship experience. Assist with seating if needed, collect offering, direct flow of Communion, count attendance. After the service, tidy the sanctuary and secure the offering.
