All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness... 2 Timothy 3:16
Lectors are assigned scriptural passages and intercessions to be read at the Sunday Eucharist, special liturgies such as Christmas and Holy Week, and certain weekday services. Members of our Lector's Guild are conspicuous by the pious fervor with which they declaim God's holy Word. Those with a desire to share the Scriptures with God's people in worship should contact The Rev. Jenkins
Lay person licensed by the bishop to administer the consecrated elements of the eucharist. Lay eucharistic ministers may be licensed to administer the consecrated wine at any celebration of the eucharist in the absence of a sufficient number of priests and deacons to assist the celebrant. Lay eucharistic ministers may be licensed for either or both ministries. This ministry is understood to be an extraordinary ministry, and is not to take the place of the ministry of priests and deacons concerning the administration of the eucharist. Prior to the current lay ministry canons, specially licensed lay readers administered the chalice at the eucharist and were known as “chalice bearers.” If you are interested in serving as a LEM, please contatct the Rev. Jenkins.
A Eucharistic Visitor is a lay person authorized to take the Consecrated Elements in timely manner following a Clebration of Holy Eucahrist to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, were unable to be present at the Celebration. If you would like to become an Eucharistic Vistor please contact the Rev. Jenkins.
Ushers and Greeters - Gordon Smith
The Ushers assure that members and visitors are greeted and seated with Christian hospitality, assist with the collection of the offering and the bringing forward of the elements for communion, and direct the flow of people during the service in an orderly and competent fashion. The Sunday Greeters program invites members of the congregation to extend the “Welcome” to visitors at each Sunday service. Anyone interested in this program may contact the chairperson of the Evangelism and Membership ministry.
