ACOLYTES:
Adults and children are invited to consider assisting at the Altar during worship services. Acolyte duties include candle-bearer, server, crucifer and thurifer. Eucharistic Ministers, who help distribute communion, and Ministers of Ceremony who direct worship teams, are trained and licensed by the Diocese.
Contact: Mark Watson

ALTAR GUILD:
Youth and adults care for the textiles and vessels used in worship services. Altar Guild responsibilities include polishing brass, laundering and ironing linens and other hands-on service. Altar Guild members share an interest in artistry and fine craftsmanship and a love for Episcopal liturgical traditions.

BELLS: Our intergenerational handbell choir rehearses for about six weeks prior to each worship service that includes bells, on Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. No previous experience is necessary. All are welcome!

CHOIR: Our choir sings at the 10:30 a.m. service on Sundays from mid-September to mid-June. Rehearsals are Sundays at 9:00 a.m. Musical offerings cover a wide range of periods and styles and sometimes include solo instrumentalists from the congregation. Singers and instrumentalists are encouraged to step forward!

LECTORS: On Sundays, scripture lessons are read by youth and adult lectors. Lectors are part of the procession to the altar and read from a lighted lectern with a stationary microphone to ease voice projection. You are mailed a copy of the lesson prior to your scheduled Sunday.

NEEDLEPOINT PROJECT: A team of stitchers is creating new needlepoint covers for our kneelers. Designs are based on motifs that appear in our stained glass windows and on religious and spiritual imagery. On the fourth Thursday of each month (6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.), those who are available meet to stitch together and help one another as needed. Ready-to-stitch kits (and instruction if you are new to needlepoint) are available for anyone who is interested.
