Acolytes' Guild
Whether participating in 10:00 a.m. Sunday worship, or one of our special festival services, our acolytes
are always ready to serve with enthusiasm and dedication.Acolytes are the glue that holds the service together
and allow it to flow smoothly.
They assist our Rector Rev. Stephanie Wethered, in a variety of ways; carrying a processional cross, lighting candles,
holding the Gospel book, bearing torches, with set-up and clean-up at the altar, as well as receiving the elements and
offertory plates from the
congregation and other important tasks.
Acolytes receive on-going training by the Acolyte Director and supportive assistance
and coaching from the other members of the team.
We expect all acolytes to help each other, keep a flexible attitude toward changes, show
responsibility about schedule and commitment, and serve
God at his table with attention and care.
As they progress from first-timers to accomplished leaders, our acolytes take to heart the
importance of liturgy and the joy of service in the
life of our parish community here at Saint Peter's Church.
Saint Peter's Church is a wonderful place to expand your life experiences within a loving,
supportive community. You can explore and learn more about your faith, have fun times
with friends and
make new ones as well.
Join us.
You'll be proud you did.
