“Liturgy” comes from the Greek words meaning “the work of the people.” At St. Luke’s worship involves not only the priest and congregation but also a host of people serving in various aspects of the ministry of worship. Some of the ministries, such as the altar guild, are “behind the scenes” ministries; others, such as lector and chalice bearer are “up front”. There is a place for everyone in some aspect of worship ministries.

• Altar Guild members prepare the church for all services;
• Lectors read aloud the lessons appointed for the day;
• Chalice bearers give the wine during communion;
• Acolytes assist the priest during the service;
• Prayers of the People leaders lead the prayers of the congregation;
• Ushers welcome people to church and help people get seated;
• Greeters provide refreshments after the 10:30 service;
• Occasional choir meets occasionally to prepare an anthem for worship.

 

Contact the Rector if you are interested in serving in an aspect of worship ministries on Sunday mornings.
