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.

Make A Joyful Noise Through Music!
Middle and high school students who are interested in worship through music, make plans to join the St. Martin’s Youth Choir in the fall. No experience is necessary! We perform during the 11:15 a.m. Traditional Service at The Church twice each semester, and we also mentor the Young Singers in their music-making. Come be a part of our community!

Youth Choir will resume in Aug. 2025.

What our singers are saying:

“Youth Choir is one of my favorite times of the week. Not only do I get to spend time with my sisters through Christ, but we also get to glorify our Lord together. Please come join us! I look forward to making music with you!” Ava C.

“I love the choir because I am so close with the other singers, and we make beautiful music together. We sound like literal angels.” Evelyn G.
