Liturgical Ministries

WELCOME MINISTRY

The Welcome Ministry is for new and long-time parishioners alike. Anyone who wants to share what they have found (Sunday Mornings, Stillpoint, and all special services) can engage in the ministry of our patron, St. Andrew, by "Welcoming All, To Come and See." Commitment is low and, as you are able, with expected arrival before the service and a willingness to be aware for people who need directions, assistance, or introducing newcomers to others during coffee hour and other social moments. We welcome you to welcome all! 

ALTAR GUILD

The Altar Guild is open to any and all who wish to serve God and support the interim rector in her ministry of corporate worship by preparing the church and altar for the celebration of our liturgies. The Guild supports St. Andrew’s, Episcopal and Anglican, traditions and encourages parish growth and goals.  In fulfilling this vision, we are open to suggestions from our Interim Rector, our membership and the parish as a whole.  The Guild intends to be a dynamic ministry that seeks to ‘Glorify God’ in all our services.

Head of the Guild: Leo Bonfadini

Flowers: Judie James

FLOWER GUILD

The Flower Guild, led by Judie James, seeks to offer seasonally and liturgically appropriate arrangements to beautify our space. The arrangments are carefully and thoughtfully selected to adhere to the liturgical season and preference of the Interim Rector. Any who wish to assist in this ministry are encouraged. The life of corporate worship has many dynamic parts; the flower guild is one among many that bring the liturgical to life.

St. Benedict’s Guild (Lectors)

With the leadership of Zoe Cole and Micaëla Larsen Brown, the lectors guild ensures that the readings for each Sunday follow The Revised Common Lectionary, adhereing to the standards of The Episcopal Church. The guild has a dedicated team that serve during the various services throughout the week. An important part of corporate worship, our lectors offer their talents through speech and bring the Word of God to life each time they read at the lectern.

EUCHARTISTIC VISITORS

Led by Diana Solomon, the Eucharistic Vistors offer a pastoral presence to our homebound and distant neighbors. They bring the Sacrment to the people extending the life of our corporate worship out into the world. A dedicated team of parishioners serve in this role. They’d be happy to have you!

ACOLYTES

The Acolyte ministry helps to facilitate the liturgy, which contributes to a holistic space in which the community worships. We also represent the community and serve as a bridge from the congregation to the altar. Our ministry helps revere and celebrate life milestones at memorials, marriages, and baptisms. We are the face of the community at the altar. As we serve, the gifts that we both give and receive are abundant and plentiful.
