Worship Brings Us Together

Everyone in the 51Æ·²è community is encouraged to participate actively as a member of the assembly or to offer individual gifts as music minister, lector, extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, acolyte (server), minister of hospitality (Greeter), artist, dancer, or sacristan.

Lectors proclaim the Word of God in the scriptures so that the worshipping assembly can hear Christ speaking to them in their own time.

Acolytes (Altar Servers) assist the presider at the altar.

Extraordinary Ministers of  Holy Communion enable the assembly to unite themselves with Christ, and with one another, by assisting with the distribution of the Body and the Blood of Christ during the communion rite.

Ministers of Hospitality represent the entire assembly in creating a welcoming atmosphere for all who come to worship.
