Worship is something we share. People of all ages and abilities are welcome to take part in ways that feel meaningful to them. There is a place for everyone to participate at their own comfort and pace.

Acolytes

Acolytes help us to focus on what matters in worship by leading the procession with the cross, lighting candles, and assisting the priest in setting the table for the Eucharist.

Musicians

The choir leads the congregation in song, and instrumentalists provide moments of melodic meditation and worship, expressing that which is beyond words.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild serves behind the scenes, preparing the altar, vessels, and linens for worship.

Readers

Readers proclaim the Word of God through scripture and give voice to the Prayers of the People.

Chalicers

Chalicers serve the wine during Holy Communion, connecting with worshippers one on one.

Ushers

Ushers welcome all who enter the space, offering hospitality and guidance.

Flowers

Altar flowers beautify our worship and are shared with the congregation after services. Flowers may be given in celebration, thanksgiving, or remembrance, and many summer arrangements come from parishioners’ gardens.

Hospitality

Volunteers extend welcome and fellowship beyond the service, providing light refreshments for Coffee Hour.
