Liturgical Ministries
Altar Servers
- Bob Shadduck is the coordinator of this vital ministry involving over 100 of our young people. New members are always welcome. Training is in late winter/early spring, with installation in the Fall.
Environment
- Environment ministers make our worship space beautiful and conducive to prayer and worship. The creative use of plants, fabrics, candles and other items establishes a sense of the season. This ministry is coordinated by Pam Kingsley and Neil Kingsley and is always open to new members.
Extraordinary Ministers of Communion
- Eucharistic Ministers serve the Body and Blood of Jesus to the community at liturgy. EMs are coordinated by Wendy Grasso, and this ministry is open to additional volunteers.
- Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick, coordinated by Gene Hawkins, bring the Eucharist to the sick, the hospitalized, and the homebound.
