Ministry Opportunities

Acolyte Young people entering fifth grade and up are encouraged to participate in the ministry and worship of the church by serving on the acolyte team.  Robin Tischler trains and schedules all interested youth to serve as crucifers, torchbearers, and altar servers.  Involvement on this level helps bring a deeper awareness of what it is we do each Sunday, and the many ways we serve Jesus in love.   Reader People of all ages help deliver the good news.  One way to do this is to read one of the lessons or lead the Psalm on Sunday morning.  Help is offered in pronouncing names and understanding the stories so that the readings are more meaningful to everyone. Chalice bearer Anyone sixteen years or older and a member in good standing is invited to serve the wine during communion.  This special ministry gives each of us the chance to do as Jesus did - serve our neighbors. Lay Eucharist Visitor Interested young people may accompany the LEV teams as they visit shut-ins each Sunday after the worship services. Altar Guild Come learn even more about the special details of the worship service and help take care of the beautiful gifts that adorn the altars.  The altar guild welcomes young people interested in serving the Church by helping to care for the brass, linens, and vestments.  Learn what goes on behind the scenes that helps our worship times be more meaningful.
