Acolytes serve as torchbearers, candle lighters, crucifers, readers or lectors, book and banner bearers, and communion assistants. They help worshippers notice God and not themselves. Because they have prayer, prepared and practice, the acolyte serves with reverence, calmness, and grace. 

They provide for important internal social support including our weekly coffee hours. The include: Dorcas Society, Men of Holy Cross, ECW and the Rectors Guild

Our volunteer staff provide for a host of learning opportunities throughout the year in every age category. From our after School Arts Enrichment program Act Your Best sponsored by the Episcopal Lutheran Alliance, to our summer initiatives we are committed to making sure  we provide hope to the next generation.

The Worship ministry requires our actions, motives, and attitudes to be pure of heart and holy before God and man. We expect that those who commit themselves to ministry will make the time and possess the drive to glorify God. We strive to provide our youth different ways to express their appreciation to God and their fellow neighbor. Through Field Trips and social projects combined with their worship expressions our youth are challenge to let their light shine.
