St. Thomas' Episcopal Church
We are a welcoming community of faith and love that serves one another
and seeks to draw others to God through our ministries.
Sunday Ministries
Sunday worship is made possible by the many hands and hearts who give their time. Volunteers help create a space that is welcoming, joyful, and filled with God’s love.
Acolytes
Our acolytes assist in leading worship by serving at the altar during our Sunday services. Their responsibilities may include carrying the cross, lighting and extinguishing candles, and helping the clergy prepare the table for communion. This ministry is a meaningful way to participate in the service, and all youth and adults are welcome
Lay Eucharistic Ministers
Our lay eucharistic ministers help administer the chalice and perform other duties in our worship services.
Lay Eucharistic Visitors
Our Lay Eucharistic Visitors take communion out from the church on Sunday mornings to those who are shut-in, sick, or in the hospital.
Lectors
Our lectors are those who read the scripture readings and the prayers of the people at each of our Sunday morning services. All ages are welcome to read!
Ushers
Ushers greet parishioners and distribute bulletins before the 10:00 am service. During the offertory, they pass the plate through the congregation and take the offering to the altar when finished. At communion, the ushers direct the communicants to the altar rail.
Altar Guild
Our Altar Guild prepares the altar for all services at St. Thomas’. They set up for communion, for funerals, and they polish the brass and silver twice a year for special occasions. The altar guild work in a rotation of monthly teams.
Worship Tech
The worship tech runs our online broadcast from the sacristy every Sunday morning at 10:00 am and for special services. No special skills are needed.
Flower Guild
The flower guild creates floral arrangements for weekly and special services at St. Thomas’. No experience is necessary to assist in this ministry.
