Levites’ principal roles in the Temple included singing Psalms during Church services, and maintenance for the Church , serving as guards, and performing other services. Before the church service starts, the levites will often have the responsibility to check the thermostat, check the restrooms, and prepare for the service . As the congregation arrive, the levites will act as doorkeepers, greeting each person with a smile, shaking hands, and handing out new letters if there is any. They are also available to answer visitors’ questions and extend extra help in seating those who need assistance.
During the church service, the levites usually take part in some way. They are responsible to take up the church offering and make sure it is put in the proper place. Levites also help with the Lord’s Supper or Communion. Levites have a goal of minimizing distractions during the music and sermon. Levites stand ready to assist anyone in the congregation who might need help, to aid latecomers in finding a seat, and to inform those in the sanctuary of any urgent matters.
Levites are well-versed in emergency procedures. In case of an emergency, thy will take the lead in getting people to safety in an orderly manner.
After the service, levites will again be at the door to greet the congregation as they leave and provide assistance as needed. In many churches, the ushers will then make sure that the sanctuary is tidy, the thermostat is adjusted, and the lights are shut off.
