The People's Work: Ministries

The Episcopal Church advocates for the priesthood of all believers and encourages all baptised persons to exercise their talents through various ministries within the Body of Christ.

Worship

Acolytes

Acolytes are persons of all ages who serve the priest during liturgical worship services with specific tasks such as carrying the cross and candles during processions, holding the Bible for readings of the Gospel, presenting the offerings, and assisting in preparing the altar for Eucharist (Communion).

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, and preparation of the physical elements for worship. These include the candles, altar linens, communion vessels, bread, and wine. The Altar Guild assures that the worship area is clean and sets up for services. Needless to say, there is also cleanup after services.
