Acolytes

Featured image for “Acolytes”

In this ministry, the role is to assist the priest in charge of the worship service and enhance the service to the glory of God. Duties include lighting and extinguishing altar candles, presenting the crucifer, flags, banners and other elements of the service. Acolyte service is an important part of our worship tradition. Children and youth find it very rewarding to serve God and the Church in this way.

 

Students in grades 2 through 8 are invited to serve at our Family Table Sunday service. Contact Rebekah Maddux at relhakam@smec.org or 713-830-4146 if interested.

Students in grades 6 through 12 are invited to serve in The Church’s traditional Sunday worship services. Contact Madison Vanacore at mvanacore@smec.org or 713-985-3841 if interested.
