The Guild is comprised of four teams, headed by captains, who are responsible for setting up the altar for Sunday worship and special worship services. They also see that the altar flowers are distributed to the sick or parishioners deserving special recognition. Members rotate responsibility for polishing silver and laundering linens. Acolytes Senior and junior acolytes process with the cross and serve at the altar during worship services on Sundays and Holy Days. This is a unique opportunity to participate in a special way in our worship life.
Training is provided by the liturgist.
One can expect to acolyte every four weeks. Among the significant areas of lay contribution and participation in our worship are those of lay reader and chalice bearer. Lay readers read lessons and lead the psalm and prayers of the people. Chalice bearers administer the chalice at communion. The Rector provides training for these ministries.
