SERVICE

Liturgics
The Liturgics Commission oversee liturgy at all levels of parish life to assure quality, honor creativity, and be a knowledgeable resource in the Book of Common Prayer and the Church’s theology of worship.

Ushers
Four individuals are needed at the 10:30am Sunday service and two people are needed at the 8:00am Sunday service to distribute bulletins, to pass the offertory plates, and to direct the flow of people to the altar rail at Communion. Ushers work in teams and commit themselves to one Sunday every six weeks.

Greeters
Greeters extend a warm welcome to visitors and parishioners before and after all Sunday Services. A warm smile and friendly handshake are all you need to become a greeter. Greeters work in teams and commit themselves to one Sunday every four weeks.
