Serving in Worship
You're invited to serve the Lord! St. Peter's has many opportunities to volunteer with the parish and its ministries. Volunteers for worship are at the core of what we do.
During the Service
- Ushers — Welcome guests before the service, hand out bulletins, collect the offerings, and dismiss aisles for Holy Communion.
- Chalice Bearers — Bring up the gifts prior to Holy Communion and assist in administering the cup.
- Acolytes — Boys and girls who serve at the altar during the service. Carry the cross and candles, and assist with Communion.
- Lectors — Read the scripture for the service. Two readings are presented each Sunday.
- Prayer Reader — Read the Prayers of the People during the service.
- Counter — Count the collection offerings after the service.
- Nursery Volunteer — Watch small children during the 10:00 AM service.
Before and After the Service
- Heavenly Hosts — Prepare coffee hour refreshments. Learn more.
- Altar Guild — Prepare the altar days before the service. Learn more.
