ACOLYTE PROGRAM

Our Acolyte Ministry gives children the opportunity to fully participate in the 10:30 a.m. Service as crucifers and torchbearers.    They wear acolyte robes, and are taught all the details of the worship ceremony.   Each acolyte is put on one of five teams, led by a parent and a high school student that serves in a once-monthly rotation.  Acolytes derive a deeper liturgical experience while assuring that church service runs smoothly. Acolyting at special services, such as Christmas and Easter, is done on a volunteer basis.
