Music Ministry

 

Our Music Ministry provides the musical leadership for Sunday Services and special Services. If you like to sing, or can play an instrument, and can commit to practices and Sunday mornings (even just one or two a month), please consider joining our Senior Choir, Youth Choir or men’s chorus, the Cornerstones. Please see the Organist if you would like to share of your musical talents and abilities.

 

Altar Guild

 

The work of the Altar Guild is to prepare the church for all Services, particularly the Altar, communion vessels and linens, as well as the Chancel flowers. This group also decorates the church for festivals in the Christian year, for weddings and funerals, and shares the weekly duties of preparing for the Eucharist and Baptisms. Contact the Parish Office if you would like to contribute to this ministry.

 

Eucharistic Ministers

 

The privilege of administering the chalice to communicants is assigned to parishioners by the Rector and Vestry under the authority of the Bishop. Individuals are nominated by the Rector in consultation with the Vestry and the license to perform this function is granted by the Bishop.

 

The Servers Guild

 

This group of young people, mostly post-Confirmation age, are committed and dedicated in service to God at His Altar. These young people assist the Ministry Team throughout many aspects of the Liturgy during Sunday Services. If you would like more information about this group, or would like to be a part of this ministry, please speak with the Rector.
