The Chalice Bearers are men or women whom the Rector and Wardens nominate to the Advisory Board for approval. Once approved by the Advisory Board, their names are submitted to the Bishop for approval. Chalice Bearers administer the Chalice at the services. You may have noticed that at St. John's our Lay Readers are jointly licensed as Chalice Bearers. The Servers Guild The Servers Guild members are young people who assist at the worship services by carrying the cross and torches and by helping the clergy in preparing the bread and wine as we celebrate the Holy Eucharist.
Young people volunteer to join the guild and are also invited to join.
The Chancel Guild Members of the Chancel Guild are appointed by the Rector. Members also clean the vessels each week in preparation of our worship on the Lord's Day. The Guild's annual corporate Communion takes place on the evening of Maundy Thursday. The Sidespersons are our official greeters at the church entrance. They distribute the Sunday bulletins, and help people to their seats, as well as directing people to Communion and assisting the Wardens in counting the collection each week.
