Acolyte Guild

OUR Worship ministries

Acolytes lead worship processions and recessions; light and extinguish candles; assist during the Offertory; and help set the altar for communion during 9:00 am Sunday services. Organized into teams, participants range in age from nine to 18 years. Acolytes serve once per month, with no weekday obligations. New Acolytes are coached by the Guild Leader as well as experienced Acolytes. Experience and comfort level guide role assignment.
