Serve in Sunday Morning Worship
Get Involved at Grace
Worship in the Lutheran tradition is a collaborative act of the whole people of God. Beyond the ministry of our ordained pastors, our weekly services rely on the diverse gifts of our many volunteers. We are always looking for new faces to join our serving teams. If you’re interested, fill out the form using the link above, and we will get in contact with you.
Altar Guild: prepares Holy Communion for all worship services and are responsible for the care and management of the sacramental supplies from linens to bread and wine.
Assisting Minister: write the Prayers of the Church, lead the Offertory and Post-Communion prayers, help with Holy Communion, and proclaim the Dismissal.
Book Bearer/Crucifier: confirmands carry the cross and the Lectionary during the procession in and out of worship. They also receive the offering and assist with Holy Communion.
Gift Bearers: carry the Holy Communion elements to the altar during the offering and help distribute the common cup during distribution.
Greeters: welcome everyone who enters Grace for worship and provide directions and assistance.
Handbell Choir: plays occasionally from September through May. All are welcome, whether you have previous ringing experience or not. You don’t have to know how to read music – we’ll teach you how to mark your score so you know when to play.
Lectors: read either the Old Testament or the New Testament text during worship and assist with Holy Communion.
Livestream: handle the audio and video elements of streaming our worship through our YouTube channel. Members work in teams – one managing the visual and one the audio. This job requires some basic computer skills to learn the the control panels.
Parish Choir: sings every Sunday from September through May and monthly at the Bach Cantata Vespers services on Sunday afternoons. The schedule also includes special services such as Ash Wednesday, Lent/Advent services, the Advent/Christmas Concert, and Holy Week.
Ushers: hand out bulletins, track Sunday attendance, collect offerings, assist with Communion, and see to the overall well-being of those in worship.
