Supporting Worship

Greeters are stationed at the entrances to the Church at each Sunday liturgy to offer a warm welcome to visitors and parishioners, to answer questions, and to assist in other needs. Sidespeople arrive early to welcome parishioners, distribute bulletins and provide assistance in seating. During the liturgy, sidespeople take up the offering, bring forward the gifts of bread and wine, and guide congregants up for communion.

As an integral part of our worship, these men and women read the lessons and lead the prayers of the people during the Sunday liturgy. You must demonstrate the ability to read the Word with clear distinction and a strong, reverential voice.

As worship leaders, Lay Leaders serve the church by assisting at and leading services of worship on a regular basis. Lay Leaders assist the clergy each Sunday in leading the liturgy of the word at the 10:30 a.m. worship service.

On the third Sunday of each month, we offer a ministry of anointing with prayers for healing at both the 8:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services. Lay Anointers will anoint with oil those who have come to receive the blessing of being anointed, and pray a brief prayer over the recipient.
