Liturgy
The Episcopal Church is known for its liturgy, and it is to our worship that we look for a sense of who we are in relation to God and one another.

Liturgy Commission

The Liturgy Commission consists of leaders of various areas described below and is chaired by our rector.  We meet on the second Tuesday of each month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Study.  We review and plan for recent and upcoming worship services and oversee the personnel and property needs of the worship space.  We also pray together and spend time thinking about the ‘why’ of liturgy in relation to the choices we make.

Ministers of Hospitality

Ministers of Hospitality serve as greeters on Sundays mornings and help direct the collection and presentation of gifts during the Eucharist.  We’ve found that this is a particularly good ministry for new members, as they have recent experience of walking into an unknown sanctuary and worshipping community, and it also provides them with a chance to get to know many people by face and name.  
Contact: Jeptha Boone
 

Lectors and Intercessors

Lectors read the Old and New Testament scripture lessons during the service while Intercessors lead the Prayers of the People.  Members are generally invited to become Lectors and Intercessors, but if you feel drawn to these ministries in worship, please contact the rector or Pat Quant.

Eucharistic Ministers and Visitors

A Eucharistic Minister is a lay person who assists the clergy at the altar during communion, generally by administering the cup of wine to communicants.  Some of the Eucharistic Ministers are also Eucharistic Visitors. These people take the communion elements and a brief service to shut-ins, members of the congregation who are not able to come to church regularly. We also take the greetings and friendship of fellow parishioners to those we visit.  People need a diocesan license to become EMs or EVs.  
Contact:  Members of the clergy
 

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild is a group of women and men whose main activity is to prepare the church sanctuary for weekly worship.  We would be happy to talk about this fascinating and important ministry with you.
Contacts: Jane Keltner

A Transitional Prayer,

Almighty and Loving God,

We pray for our community during this time of transition. We pray that your presence may be known among us, guiding us in our journey. Help us to understand this time as holy, a time for discovery, renewal, and joy. We pray for the gifts of courage, patience, perseverance and discernment.  And when it is your will to do so, grant us a servant who will travel our new road with us – in your time, not ours.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
