Volunteer in Worship
The word “liturgy” comes from the Greek word “leitourgia,” literally meaning “the work of the people.” We can’t do worship without you! Trinity offers a range of opportunities for getting involved in worship.
Acolytes
Children, youth and adults alike are encouraged to serve as acolytes. Acolytes assist clergy in celebrating God’s grace, and in creating a prayerful atmosphere by taking on a variety of roles during worship services, including:
Carrying banners, crosses, torches
Leading processions
Receiving offertory gifts
Serving at the altar during Eucharist
Assisting with communion
Lectors
Lectors read lessons and lead prayers of the people at worship services.
Ushers
Ushers welcome all who enter Trinity, guiding visitors and parishioners around the church before, during and after services. Ushers create a welcoming environment by handing out service bulletins, ensuring that all find suitable seating, and help people feel comfortable in receiving communion.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild—a joyous and devoted team—cares for the altar and liturgical accoutrements, prepares the sanctuary for worship, and arranges flowers for display on altars. Each month through the year, a different team works on Saturday mornings to prepare these elements for Sunday worship.
