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.

Altar Guild

Devotion, Peace and Loyalty: Three words that describe this faithful guild. The Altar Guild is selected by special invitation of the Rector and assists the Clergy in the care and preparation of the altar. Members must earnestly dedicate themselves to their work by placing love for Christ above all personal feelings and by working together with the Clergy and fellow members in peace, devotion and loyalty. The external manifestation of this spirit is the cleanliness, punctuality, care and reverence with which members carry out the duties that support worship in God’s house.

They often participate in services with readings from the Holy Scriptures. Chalice Bearers assist in communion by following the Priest, who has the bread, and offering each person at the altar a sip from the cup.
