They offer their service as assistants, celebrants and preachers following a Rota of regular participation. The Reverend Robert Walters Eucharistic Servers, Lay Readers, Intercessors and more Holy Comforters celebrates Holy Eucharist at all Sunday services. Holy Comforters services are characterized by a large number of lay participants. We use a verger, lectors, acolytes chalice bearers and Lay Eucharistic Ministers who help distribute Communion to the homebound. The Acolyte Program at Holy Comforter is an integral part of our young people's Christian Formation.
All acolytes understand their service is a full ministry within the church.
The program focuses on education, training, and fellowship. Holy Comforter currently has almost 25 acolytes from ages 9 to 65.
