Acolytes

​

The acolytes are trained youth who assist the clergy, Lay Eucharistic Ministers, and lay readers in the conduct of the worship service. Those interested in being trained to be an acolyte may contact the Rector.

​

Altar Guild

​

The Altar Guild, once a group of only women, is now a ministry of Lay People of all ages and genders. Their responsibilities include caring for the church linens and vessels, as well as setting up for services and ordering supplies. At All Saints, the Altar Guild is divided into teams, each responsible for one week a month, and they work together to cover holiday services. Their faithful service to the church is commendable.

​

Flower Guild

​

The Flower Guild is responsible for altar flower arrangements, floral centerpieces for special receptions, and decorating the church for Easter and Christmas. Members meet twice a year to discuss floral needs and enjoy a supportive learning environment. New members are welcome, and no experience is necessary - just an interest in flowers and a willingness to learn!

​

​

Greeters

​

The greeters offer hospitality to both existing members and visitors who attend the worship services and other functions. They answer questions that a visitor may have. Greeters serve at both worship services. 

​

Healing Team & Prayer Chain

​

We're a group of All Saints members who truly believe in the power of coming together to pray. Before the pandemic, we used to offer laying-on of hands and prayer at Sunday worship. We're excited to bring back this hands-on ministry very soon. In the meantime, our Prayer Chain is actively praying for all those with special needs. You're welcome to share your concerns, difficulties, and challenges, as well as moments of thankfulness and joy with our faith community through this healing ministry. Rest assured, prayers are offered with and for anyone who wants it in a completely confidential setting.

​

Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs)

​

The Lay Eucharistic Ministers administer the wine during the Eucharistic service and assist the celebrant during the service. For more information on how to serve in this ministry, contact our Senior Warden or Pastoral Care Coordinator through the Church Office.

​

Lay Readers (Lectors)

​

Lectors or Lay Readers are volunteers who are comfortable in front of the public and who wish to perform the ministry of reading scriptural passages, the psalm, or the prayers of the people during the worship service. The spoken Word is one of the most powerful signs of God's presence in our midst. 

​

Music and Choir

​

Our choir leads the liturgical music for Sunday and other primary services throughout the church year. Our central mission is to facilitate strong congregational singing at our services, and to secondarily provide sacred choral music from contemporary and traditional composers. The choir rehearses in the choir room every Thursday night from 7:00 – 8:30 from August through May. For more information, please contact Steve Blackstock at sgbstock@gmail.com 

​

Ushers

​

The ushers distribute the service bulletins, provide information about the church facility, the worship service, or general information about the church. They facilitate the worship service by providing seating assistance, collecting the offering, and directing communion reception.
