Lay Eucharistic Ministers
Lay Eucharistic Ministers are a group of caring people who visit those who cannot go out for worship because of ill-health or infirmity. Lay Eucharistic Ministers (lovingly called LEMs) bring Holy Communion and fellowship to parishioners’ homes.
There is a level of training that must be achieved to become an LEM, and a license is required from the diocese.
Acolytes
Our Acolytes, a hardy band of youth and adults, serve each week to make sure that everything runs smoothly at the altar during services — and add a dash of festivity to our worship. Acolytes must be at least 10 years old but other than that there are no restrictions other than a desire to serve.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild consists of teams who set up the altar for each service, as well as make special arrangements for weddings, funerals and other special services. They make sure the flowers are in place and supplies are plentiful. Our Altar Guild took an even more active role in researching the Columbarium (resting place for ashes).
