You can serve as a crucifer (cross carriers) and/or an acolyte (candle lighters) during Sunday morning and Holiday services. Acolytes and Crucifers are scheduled for either the early (8:00) or late (10:30) services on a rotating basis.
Altar Guild
Altar Guild members assist with the preparation of the Elements for Holy Communion and also take care of the altar and pulpit paraments.
Cantors

Greeters
