Congregations like their individual members have a ministry - a primary way in which God acts through them to carry out the mission of the Church.  Ministry is faith in action!

Acolytes are ministers at the altar of God and assist the priest and verger. They carry the cross, torches and book of Gospel readings at all worship services. Acolytes also assist in serving Holy Eucharist. Youth members of the church can become acolytes. Contact Mark Higginbotham.

Chalice Bearers, Lectors and Lay Readers assist at all services. Lay readers are authorized to conduct services. Lectors read the lessons during the service. Chalice bearers assist in the distribution of communion. Contact Joyce Vogel.
