Getting Involved

Here we outline by mission area all of the active ministries of St. Peters. While participation in worship is important, most people find that their friendships at church develop when they become involved in one or more ministries. Take time to browse through this page and contemplate where you might get involved. If any of the ministries look intriguing feel free to contact the church office for more information or to get involved.

Worship Ministries

Acolytes Acolytes provide assistance to the clergy in worship by carrying the processional cross and torches, as well as assisting in the preparation of the Altar for Holy Communion.

 Lectors Lectors read the lessons at Sunday services as well as leading the congregation in the Prayers of the People. They, through their ministry, help to bring alive the Word of God and articulate the intercessions of the community gathered.

Ushers Ushers are our first line of hospitality to both visitors and members alike. Ushers hand out bulletins, take an accurate count of attendance, help seat persons needing assistance, collect the offering, and assist in people coming forward for Holy Communion.

Chalice Bearers Chalice Bearers assist the clergy in the distribution of Holy Communion. 

Altar Guild The altar guild provides all the "behind the scenes" support for worship services. Everything from laundering and pressing linens to polishing silver and filling candles with fuel fall under the scope of the Altar Guild.
