The choir is responsible for leading the music during worship. Members also rehearse special anthems in addition to the regular service music. Currently, rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings during the school year. The children leave the service following the reading of the Gospel and return at the Passing of the Peace. Children's Chapel leaders present an age-appropriate, interactive lesson based on the lecitonary readings for th eday, giving the children an opportunity to develop their faith in a safe, loving environment.
Leaders are adult and youth volunteers from within the parish.
The ministry of a verger is to ensure that the worship service runs smoothly. He or she serves as a traffic director, assisting the acolytes, the Celebrant, and members of the congregation before and during a service. In some Episcopal churches, vergers are highly visible, wearing vestments and carrying the traditional verger's stick. Acolytes and Lay Eucharistic Ministers Acolytes perform a variety of duties to give assistance during the Eucharist. They are usually young people from the 3rd grade through high school seniors, though any adult may also wish to serve in this capacity.
