Music

Music is prayer, And inspiration. Music is praise, comfort and cheer. And calm, reverence, solace and poetry. Music transcends time and place. |

Acolytes
Acolytes have been a minor order since 252 CE. Acolytes are members of the worship team serving as torch bearers, lighters of candles, crucifers (acolyte carrying the cross during processions), thurifers (acolytes carrying an incense censer) and banner bearers. They also assist the deacon or priest at the preparation of the table for communion. To learn more about our serving as an acolyte, please send us a note through our contact us form.
Lay Readers & Chalice Bearers
Our Lay Readers are a dedicated group who read the scripture lessons during the service from the Episcopal Lectionary, an assigned list of Biblical text appropriate for that particular day in the liturgical calendar. Lay Readers also lead the congregation in reading/singing the Psalm for the day and also the Prayers of the People. Occasionally they lead Morning or Evening Prayer.
Administering the chalice (the cup of wine during Communion) offers an opportunity to participate directly and assist in the celebration of Holy Eucharist, serving wine to those who come forward to the altar rail.
Usually Lay Readers and Chalice Bearers wear white albs and join in processions. They are not obligated to do so; some choose to come directly from their pew to the lectern or altar when needed to serve.

Greeters & Ushers
Greeters and ushers are usually the first people who welcome you to our community. They can help with seating and answer any questions about the service to support your worship experience. During the service, they collect the offering from the congregation, and help to identify members of the congregation to bring the gifts of bread and the wine to the altar for consecration before the celebration of the Eucharist.
