Worship Ministries
Choir
The purpose of the choir is to provide congregational leadership in the musical worship of the parish. The choir has fun and enjoys the camaraderie of its members. Rehearsals are each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. Choir practice is every Thursday September through May at 3 pm. We welcome anyone who has the gift and the willingness to sing. We come together to make a “joyful noise unto the Lord.”
Leader: Eldon Wold, Jr. , Music Director
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild keeps the vessels used for Holy Communion, altar linens, and candles in immaculate condition, and sets the altar for all services.
Leader: Maureen Haskell
Ushers & Greeters
The Ushers serve at all services, greeting parishioners and visitors, passing out bulletins, seating people as necessary, opening and locking the church, receiving the offering of people’s gifts, ringing the bell before service, and counting the attendees. The Greeters welcome parishioners and visitors before the service and assist the Ushers with the offering.
Leaders: Bruce Wilson
Lay Eucharistic Ministers & Acolytes
Lay Ministers are trained to serve at the Altar during services as vested Acolytes, Crucifers, Readers, and Eucharistic Ministers. The new Acolytes are trained to serve at the Altar during services as vested Acolytes and Crucifers. The Youth Acolytes are under the direct supervision of the Verger/Acolyte Master.
Leader: Nita Martin
Lectors
Lectors (or Lay Readers) is a ministry inviting congregants to participate in the service by coming forward to read the Lessons and the Prayers of the People. The role of the Lector is to make the WORD come alive to the listener. We want to provide a quality of reading that should make the listener want to look up and listen as opposed to reading the script.
Leaders: Nita Martin
Vergers
The Vergers make the Sunday service work as the “detail” people. They oversee, prepare and coordinate all parts of the service so that the clergy can conduct the worship service without concern for details.
Leader: Nita Martin
