Opportunities to Serve

Several opportunities exist to serve in our worship services. We invite the full participation of all! If you are already a member of a Worship Ministry and need to access the schedule, please visit our Worship Ministries Sign-up here.

ACOLYTE

Acolytes ages 8 to adult serve at both the 8:00 and 10:30 Sunday services, leading the worship procession and assisting at the altar. Our 8:00 acolytes are generally adults; while our youth serve as crucifers and torchbearers at the 10:30 service. We provide training for any interested youth and adults at least annually, and regular opportunities to gather with other acolytes and refresh our skills.

We hope that serving will inspire each acolyte to deepen their faith and relationship with God, to learn more about the worship service and the traditions of the church, and to become a leader in worship. We also hope that the acolyte family will provide a community of friends and peers in faith that can support each acolyte on their journey.

For more information on becoming an acolyte contact Allison Otto.

EUCHARISTIC MINISTER

St. George's encourages the participation of lay people as Eucharistic Ministers. Eucharistic Ministers are delegated to assist in the distribution of communion for which specific training and instruction are necessary. If you are interested in serving at the altar as a Eucharistic Minister, please contact Allison Otto.

OFFERING INTERCESSORY PRAYER

Intercessory prayer is offered every Sunday during the Eucharist. Participants in intercessory prayer may ask for prayers for themselves, for others or for justice or God’s mercy for a hurting world. If you are interested in training and acting as an intercessor, please contact Elliott Branch.

SERVING AS AN USHER

Do you enjoy greeting new faces and ensuring everyone feels welcome? Ushering is for you! Ushers at St. George's help take care of essential tasks and offer assistance to individual members, enabling visitors and congregation members to better experience worship services. Be one of the first to greet newcomers and a welcoming resource for anyone who may need additional support. To learn more about becoming an usher at St George's, please contact Emily Davis.

ACTING AS A LECTOR

At St. George's, a lector is a member of the congregation who assists the minister in the worship service by reading the appointed lessons for the service. If you are interested in this important ministry, please contact Toby Walter. 

SINGING IN THE CHOIR

Our music ministry is a source of great joy within our community. It actively involves children, youth and adults encompassing rehearsed ensembles to spirited congregational singing. We seek to praise God, grow in our stewardship of the musical gifts God has given us, and, through this work, inspire in others and experience ourselves, a deeper faith in Christ and glimpses of God's beauty.

We hope you will join us in making beautiful music by singing in one of our ensembles, attending our special musical events, and, most importantly, raising your voice together with us as we offer our prayers and praises together in worship.
