The reason we have not done so yet, is because we do not have enough lay ministry leaders for two services. However, we do have many new members and repeat visitors. If you are not serving in the Sunday worship and would like to, please consider joining one of these ministry teams. We all would greatly appreciate having the 8am back but we cannot do it if we don’t have enough people to make the work manageable for all the ministries.
Acolytes assist the clergy with worship leadership during worship service. They lead processions, raise the spirit in the church with flying doves, assist in the proclamation of the Gospel, and assist the priest and deacon at the altar.
Members of the Altar Guild take care of the sanctuary and ready it for worship. They care for the all things liturgical and the worship space. This ministry is for people who are drawn to the practical aspects of liturgy as well as those who want to serve God in a quiet and “behind the scene” kind of way. If you are interested in this ministry, please email Janice Bowdler. We are grateful to our crew who continues during this time:
Coffee Hour is a time to welcome visitors, get to know new members, and connect with friends. Hosts are asked to provide light refreshments after the 10am service on Sunday. If you have questions, please connect with the office.
Greeters give a warm welcome to all who come to worship on Sunday mornings. If you want to get to know people in the church and are willing to come early, this is a great ministry for you! We are especially in need of greeters at this time.
If you have any questions, please email Mary Ellen Ferguson.
Ushers are in service to answer any questions someone worshipping might have and to ensure that worship goes smoothly. If you are able to come to the service 15 minutes early, we would certainly appreciate the help. If you have any questions, please email Mary Ellen Ferguson.
Lay readers read the first and second Scripture passages, lead the Psalm and lead the Prayers of the People. Youth are invited into this ministry as well as adults. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Ellen Ferguson.
This is a brand new ministry for St. Michael’s. We are looking for people who are willing to attend events and services and will take pictures that can be published on our website, in our newsletters, and for other church related communications. If you have questions and/or are interested, please let Rev. Mary or the office know.
