Acolytes

We are blessed to have young people in our congregation who are in training as acolytes to assist with the worship services. They serve as acolyte/crucifers in our Parish, and we are very proud of them and the service they provide to our congregation. In addition to serving on the altar, most of these young peopple are involved in our Youth Fellowship and still maintain an association with our Sunday School Program by attending classes, or helping out with the youner children in our classrooms.


Altar Guild

Men and women are invited to join the Altar Guild. Members prepare the altar for services, including Morning Prayer, Holy Eucharist, Baptisms, Confirmations, Weddings and Funerals. They provide supplies, such as candles, wine and wafers, as well as care for the altar linens, brass and silver items and hangings to decorate the church for worship. They are also responsible for ordering memorial flowers for each Sunday service, and oversee preparations for special Easter and Christmas services. They have two cleaning parties and breakfast (one before Christmas and one before Easter). They make our church look beautiful as a gift to our congregation, and to God, each Sunday morning.
