ACOLYTES
Young people & Adults serve by carrying the cross (Crucifer) and candles in the procession and by performing the duties of 'server' - assisting the Priest or Deacon at the altar with Setting of the Table. Acolytes add to the dignity and ceremony of our services, and provide an important vehicle for youth involvement in the religious life of the Parish. Training is provided.
ALTAR GUILD
Members meet monthly to clean the brasses and to plan for upcoming events. The Altar Guild sets up the Altar for each service and and ensures the delicate linens are cared for. Think of the altar table: the candles, the communion vessels, the linens, the vestments of the table and lecterns ... their placement on the table ... these give our services the ongoing history of our church and the dignity of our worship every time we gather to worship together. Training is provided, and anyone is welcome to join.
CHALICE BEARERS
Chalice Bearers assist the clergy during the communion service by administering the chalice. Training is provided.
LAY READERS
Lay Readers of any age perform the important liturgy of reading the Old Testament and New Testament lessons and leading the prayers of the people during the Sunday service. Training is provided.
GREETERS & USHERS
Ambassadors of our Parish - welcoming parishioners, newcomers and visitors to the Church. They are a source of information and assistance. They also help maintain the decorum of the service.
Members of The Order of the Daughters of the King® undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of Prayer, Service, and Evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.
