Church Service Opportunities

---

 ACOLYTES  4th-12th graders who rotate Sundays to assist the priest with various duties during worship (crucifer, torch bearer, etc.).

ALTAR GUILD  This group cares for the altar, vestments, vessels and altar linens of the parish. Altar Guild members prepare the sanctuary for
services, and clean up afterwards.

BREAKFAST TEAMS  Help cook breakfast and get coffee brewing on Sunday mornings!  Setup begins around 8:00 to be ready for breakfast hour and Faith Formation at 9:15, and a quick cleanup is needed after Formation or the 10:30 service.

CHOIR  Glorify God with music! Choirs are back, and there are opportunities for all ages - children, youth & adults - to sing!

FLOWER GUILD  This group is responsible for purchasing and arranging flowers for worship services. Flowers are then typically delivered to those unable to attend worship.

LAY READERS  Readers rotate Sundays and read scripture during
worship services. *See note to the right about training.

USHERS  Ushers also rotate Sundays and open doors, greet parishioners and visitors, hand out bulletins, help with seating, pass offering plates, direct flow of Holy Communion, etc.

VESTRY  The vestry is the church’s “Board of Directors” and includes 12 parishioners, each serving a staggered 3-year term. Four new members
are elected each January.

Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs)/Readers play a vital role in the life of the church! They read Holy Scripture and Prayers of the People at our services and may take Holy Eucharist to our shut-ins (home-bound and hospital-bound parishioners).
