Worship Services

04/01/2008





Acolytes
 
Carry out liturgical functions such as crucifer, server, torchbearer, and banner bearer. There are about 20 volunteers and more are always welcome as the worship services require 5 to 12 acolytes each Sunday. People 10 years of age to adult can participate after receiving a brief training. Adult volunteers are especially needed for evening services. Contact The Rev. Peter G. Tierney, III.
 
Altar Guild
 
The Altar Guild prepares the church and chapel for all services and delivers altar flowers to the homebound, the sick, and the hospitalized. The group has approximately 20 members that form five groups. Each group is assigned the same week each month. During the summer months volunteers work one weekend a month and everyone volunteers during holiday seasons to decorate the church. In May or June of each year the group gets together for the annual dinner meeting. New members are encouraged and warmly welcomed. Training is provided. Please contact Co-Directress Bea Dagdigian or Liz Dennett for more information.
 
Choir
 
Sing at the weekly Sunday Holy Eucharist service and at special services September to June. The group has approximately 25 members and there is a real need for additional members in all sections (especially basses!). This group rehearses under the direction of Dr. John Whiteside, Director of Music Ministry, every Thursday night from 7:00 to 9:00, and 9:15 on Sunday morning prior to the service. Special presentations are put on throughout the year including the presentation of a major work, Lessons and Carols the Sunday before Christmas, and Tenebrae (Good Friday). Contact Coordinator Betsy Prescott.
 
Counters
 
Help count the offering after Sunday services. As a volunteer, you will work with the three Assistant Treasurers for about one half hour after church services, probably once a month. Contact an Janet Haines for more information.
 
Greeters and Ushers
 
Greet people at the door to the church at Sunday worship service, hand out the weekly Bulletin, and assist with seating. As a volunteer, you need to arrive 15 minutes prior to the church service and spend a few minutes straightening the pews after the service. Scheduling is completely flexible and you can even volunteer for only part of the year. No training is required. Most people work one Sunday a month or less. The group is looking for new volunteers, as six to eight are needed every Sunday. Contact Coordinator Sue Fleming.
