Ministries
There are always jobs that need to be done at Christ Church. Even if you only have an hour on an occasional basis, we welcome your assistance. We promise you will find fellowship and fun while you serve. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact the church office.
Coffee Hour Committee
Hospitality is offered following the 10:00 a.m. Sunday worship service weekly in the Parish Hall by the Coffee Hour Committee. Help is always appreciated by the six teams who coordinate refreshments for the parish. Volunteers are also needed in the summer for the more casual Tea on the Lawn.
Anyone interested in joining a team please contact Robyn Ham.
Altar Guild
Those who serve on the Altar Guild are responsible for preparing the altar, vessels, linens and vestments that are to be used for worship on Sunday and for special services.
Members serve on a rotating basis. Responsible, organized, and detailed-oriented people will find this a rich and rewarding ministry. No special knowledge is required to join. Training is provided and guild members provide fellowship and support.
Anyone interested in serving on the Altar Guild
should contact Kim Phillips or Denise Carney.
Lectors & Intercessors
Lectors read the lessons from Holy Scripture and the Intercessors read the Prayers of the people during the liturgy. Training will be provided to anyone who is interested in this ministry. A strong, articulate voice is required. Those who decide to be readers should be willing to commit to preparing lessons ahead of time so they are read well. All readers serve at the discretion of the rector.
Anyone interested in being trained as a Lector should contact Simon Haarhoff.
Ushers & Greeters
Ushers are scheduled in teams to greet people at the Church do
or, distribute the service bulletins and take up the offering. This is an important ministry, offering the opportunity to welcome everyone who comes through our doors, both newcomers and established members. This ministry is open to men and women, adults and teens. Ushers additionally serve as greeters, helping to orient visitors and new members both during the service and coffee hour.
Anyone interested in becoming an usher and greeter, please contact Dan McGowan or Eric Bergman.
