Serving
Altar Guild: This ministry prepares the altar and clergy vestments, candles, communion wafers, linen and brass maintenance, changing the hymnal board each week cleaning and adorning the sanctuary for different seasons and special feast days of the church year, and assisting the florist with flower arrangements. Contact Kathy Roemisch for more information.
Acolytes: A group of pre-teens and adults that serve at the altar assisting the priests or by participating in the processional traditions of our liturgy. They serve at all parish services and on special occasions, i.e. Baptisms, Confirmation, Weddings, and Funerals. Acolytes and crucifers are fully trained and have the option of choosing which services they attend. Contact Greg King for more information.
Ushers: These individuals assist at all church services, greeting and distributing service leaflets, counting attendees, assisting with the offering and directing parishioners to the altar during communion and straighten up the pews after the service. Contact Terry Tunks for more information.
Lectors: Lectors read the lessons at all regularly scheduled services and special services, including Ash Wednesday, Lenten Stations of the Cross, Holy Week, Lessons and Carols and funerals. They also lead parishioners in the Prayers of the People. Contact Zoe Holmes for more information on Lectors.
Lay Eucharistic Ministers: These ministers assist the priest at the altar and help administer Communion. We conduct regular training for this office, six of whom serve each week at services. Contact Zoe Holmes for more information on Eucharistic Ministers.
Choir: Our choral choir leads the music at our 10:30 a.m. service each Sunday morning with traditional hymns and frequent special music incorporating additional instruments with our digital pipe organ led by Organist and Choir Director, Jon “Whit” Whittington.
Spirituality Class: Grow closer to God through prayer. Explore the use of “spiritual tools” such as artwork, music, coloring mandalas, a labyrinth, and books. This class meets weekly on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 AM in the Undercroft. Contact Sheila Clark for more information on the Spirituality Class.
Vine and Branches Prayer Group: An intercessory prayer group that meets the 2nd Tuesday at 10 am in the Parish Hall. Contact Madeliene Hiester for more information about Vine and Branches.
Daughters of the King: A group of Christina women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported through the companionship of our sisters. We are all at different stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun, and some have been on this path for a long time. Our primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others. Contact Heather May-White for more information on Daughters of the King.
Children’s Chapel Leaders: Children’s chapel midway through the 10:30 service provides an opportunity during the time of the sermon for our children to experience worship designed especially for them. They have a special prayer, listen and discuss a gospel story or reading that coincides with the Lectionary gospel reading, and do a craft or another activity. We need adult and teen leaders to assist the children in their worship before they return for Communion with their families. Contact Sharon Fullington for more information.
