Word order in a sentence

Question

I am working on making a list of things I helped do at a church's VBS in Spanish. In particular, I'm not sure about how the words in this sentence should be ordered.

It is supposed to say "I helped direct opening and closing worship." This is what I have: "Ayudé dirigir adoración principio y cierre." I think principio and cierre are acting as adjectives, so they go after adoración, right, or should it be "Ayudé dirigir principio y cierre adoración." Also, is there a better word for beginning than principio? It doesn't seem quite right in this case.

Answer 1

Some slight changes...Ayudé a dirgir el principio y el cierre del servicio de adoración.

You could also probably use " la apertura" for "principio" but I think principio is good
