Ways to Serve
Acolytes:
This program is open to all youth from third grade to those aged 99. Training is held when there are volunteers. Acolytes assist the clergy at the altar during worship services. Children can begin to serve as acolytes at the age of eight. Minimal training is required. If this is a service you would like to be part of, contact the church office. Marrie Williams, coordinator.
Altar Guild:
The guild is open to all from twelve years old. Members work in teams and are assigned to certain days and services. If you are interested in helping out, call the church office. You need not have experience, as you will be trained after you volunteer. Orvilla Elleby, coordinator.
Lay Readers:
Lay readers serve during our worship by reading from the pulpit the Old and New Testament Lessons, leading the Psalm, and leading the congregation in the Prayers of the People. All are encouraged to participate in this important ministry. Marrie Williams, coordinator.
Chalice Bearers:

Millennium Development Goals
The MDGs represent a global partnership that has grown from the
commitments and targets established at the world summits of the 1990s. Responding to the world's
main development challenges and to the calls of civil society, the MDGs promote poverty reduction,
education, maternal health, gender equality, and aim at combating child mortality,
AIDS and other diseases.
