Lectors - Eucharistic Ministers -
Worship Leaders
Lay Readers (Lectors) read the Holy Scriptures and Prayers.
Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEM) participate in leading intercessions and distributing communion. A Eucharistic Visitor takes Holy Communion after corporate worship to the sick and shut in who are unable to attend worship.
Worship Leaders lead the non-Eucharistic services of worship, particularly Morning Prayer. All members are encouraged to consider serving in roles associated with worship.
Ushers
When you enter the church on Sunday morning, you will be greeted by two members of the congregation who will give you a worship bulletin and help you with anything you might need. These people are called ushers. Ushers also bring the bread and wine to the altar for communion, collect the congregation's offerings and assist the congregation as they go to the altar rail to receive communion.
