Ushers have a number of hand and body positions to communicate the need for fans, programs, available seats, prayer, scripture reading, etc. The number of hand and body positions may differ by denomination and from church to church. In the Baptist church a common body position for ushers during prayer, used to block entry into the sanctuary are arms crossed across the chest. Also, ushers do not typically close their eyes during prayer as they are to always be alert to the needs of the congregation. Hope that helps.

What is the difference between ushers and groomsmen?

Basically, the groomsmen are the "assistant best men". They are up at the front with the wedding party, and have a corresponding bridesmaid partner. Ushers "work the aisles" in the church - they seat the people in the main body of the church. They do not have a corresponding female partner, at least as their function as ushers goes.
