Serving as an acolyte affords our young people an opportunity to express their devotion by serving at the Altar and may be the means of creating a deeper faith in those who might otherwise have a casual interest in the Church. Membership is open to students beginning in the 3rd grade through high school. A period of instruction or training is conducted annually.
A voluntary group whose ministry is to care for the altar, vessels and altar linens. Members prepare for all Eucharistic services, as well as baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and funerals. It is a privilege to serve at the Altar and members consider their work as an offering to God. Looking for young as well as more mature adults called to this ministry.
The Flower Guild arranges for the flowers used at the Altar. This committed group is responsible for decorating the sanctuary for Sunday services, festival days, weddings, and funerals. We welcome new members and would be delighted to train newbies in flower arranging!
The LEMs consist of communicants in good standing, who are approved by, and serve under the direction of the Rector. They participate regularly in the Sunday morning services, and at other times such as the Daily Offices, the Stations of the Cross, funerals, Holy Week services, etc.
The tellers are volunteers who take responsibility for seeing that all Sunday collections are properly accounted for and safely deposited in the bank so they can be used for the ministries of the church.
With the spirit of Invite Welcome Connect, the ushers greet arriving parishioners, direct persons to their seats, lend assistance when needed, direct the flow of communicants to and from the altar, distribute alms basins and return offerings to the altar, and answer questions about the church. These functions are performed as unobtrusively as possible with the dignity appropriate to worship and with an attitude of thanksgiving.
