Worship Involvement

Volunteers are honored to fulfill each of these roles so that the congregation has a richer and meaningful worship experience.

 

Altar Guild

 

 Members are responsible for setting the altar for all church services. They care for the vestments, linens, silver and other appointments.  They provide and arrange appropriate flowers and greenery.  Both men and women are invited to be members of the Guild.

 

Acolytes

 

Our youth acolytes are an integral part of our worship service.  Their participation includes carrying the cross during the processional and recessional, holding the Bible for the Priest’s reading of the Gospel and presenting the offering and Communion elements during the offertory.  It is a joy to watch our older acolytes lovingly mentor their younger piers as both transition from one phase to another in their lives within the church.

 

Chalice Bearer

 

Administers the wine during communion.  They undergo required training to perform this service.

 

Lectors

Music
