Lay Ministers

In addition to the leadership of our clergy and staff, many volunteer lay ministers help to prepare and lead our worship services:

  • Flower Arrangers, who beautify our Sanctuary with seasonal arrangements
  • Altar Guild members, who prepare the altar for the Holy Eucharist
  • Greeters, who hand out bulletins and welcome parishioners and guests
  • Ushers, who take up the offering and present the gifts of bread and wine
  • Acolytes, who carry the cross and torches in procession and serve at the altar
  • Choir Members, who lead the people in sacred song
  • Lectors, who proclaim readings from Scripture
  • Intercessors, who lead the Prayers of the People
  • Lay Eucharistic Ministers, who administer the chalice
  • Lay Eucharistic Visitors, who carry the Sacrament to the sick and homebound
  • Coffee Hour Hosts, who prepare the post-service refreshments
  • We are always looking for more volunteers for the ministries above. For more information, contact Judy Horton at .
