Acolytes and Ushers
Lay members of the parish actively assist during services under the guidance of the Rector and in some cases, after being licensed by the Bishop.
- Acolytes, grades 5 and older, are trained by an Acolyte Master and the Rector to assist at the altar during worship.
- Ushers welcome the congregation at the doors before services, give out the order of service, attend to the needs of those who need assistance, count the number present, collect and present the offering, and generally help maintain decorum before and during services.
