Assisting at Worship

Calvary welcomes adult and youth volunteers to serve at worship services:

  • Ushers greet arriving worshipers, help them find seats, and bring the offering to the altar.
  • Lectors read the first and second lessons at each service, and the Prayers of the People. Copies of the lessons and the prayers are e-mailed to lectors in advance.
  • Chalice bearers help serve Communion wine at the altar. Adults and children grade 5 and above are invited and encouraged to volunteer.
  • Crucifers carry the cross at the beginning and end of the service, and when the Gospel is read. Adults and children grade 5 and above are invited and encouraged to volunteer.
  • Acolytes light the candles on the altar and assist the officiant with Communion preparations at the altar. Adults and children grade 5 and above are invited and encouraged to volunteer.
