This work is more than just a mechanical service; it has a fundamental spiritual component. Before taking on the service, it is essential to dedicate time to prayer for personal preparation. It is also crucial to pray for the service itself and for all the participants. On some occasions, an usher may perform counseling functions, requiring them to be observant. In the church, people with evident emotional burdens may arrive, and it is vital to be compassionate and alert to offer them words of love and encouragement, pray with them, or discreetly refer them to a pastor or church leader for ministry. This action must be carried out with utmost delicacy and discretion.
