How We Serve in Worship

Acolytes & Lay Eucharistic Ministers

Lectors

Children's Homilists

During the 10:00 a.m. service, children's homilists extend a special welcome to the youngest worshippers by offering  them a short lesson drawn from the Bible readings for the day. These brief sermons are often appreciated just as much by the adults.

Altar Guild

Altar Guild volunteers set up the bread, wine, and linens for worship, clean up afterward, and bring linens home for laundering. This fun way to help behind the scenes is an immense help to the church.

Ushers

Ushers are often the first faces people see when they get to church. They welcome people to worship, distribute bulletins, help newcomers, and assist people to communion.

The Choir

At the 10:00 a.m. service, our choir leads the congregation in worshiping God through music and song and offers a weekly anthem to God to inspire us and enhance our worship. Our talented choir and beautiful pipe organ make music one of the highlights of our worship together. The choir meets weekly for practice, and new choir members are always welcome.
