St. Paul's Rector

Worship
Team Calendar
The Worship
Team Calendar is monthly service schedule of duty assignments
for Sunday and special services. Worship team members include
priest(s) or officiant, deacon(s), preacher, lector(s), eucharistic
minister(s), acolyte(s), and greeters/ushers. It is important
that these assignments are filled and those unable to make their
scheduled assignments find a replacement and/or contact our
liturgist. The Sacristy Team (Altar Guild) maintains its own
schedule.
Lay
Readers Needed
The laity, the people of the church, all the baptized, are called
to ministry. Lay readers are non-ordained ministers in worship.
Traditionally they led the Daily Offices (Morning Prayer, Evening
Prayer, etc,) and are licensed by the Diocese to read the scripture
lessons in church. A lector is appointed by the liturtgist or
the celebrant to read the lessons that precede the gospel and
to be the cantor or the one who leads the psalm at the eucharist
service. The lector should be prepared to read the prayers of
the people in the absence of the intercessor or the deacon. This
a special ministry that gives voice to God's Word and voice to
the prayers of the congregation. If you feel a call to this ministry
or want to know more about it, contact our liturgist, Carol Shultz.
Greeters
Needed
We need volunteers to greet people on Sunday mornings. Greeters
are the first smiling face visitors see on a Sunday morning. Contact
Barb Tourville if you are interested.
Top
Support
Team Calendar
The Support
Team Calendar is a monthly service schedule for those who
have volunteered to provide regularly scheduled support functions
to make the church an inviting and hospitable environment for
worship, fellowship, and outreach activities.
Coffee
Hour Volunteers Needed
The ancient tradition of hospitality is to offer the visitor or
guest something to eat and to drink. While many call Trinity home
none of us live there. Take the opportunity to be the host, or
just help out in the kitchen, during the Coffee Hour following
church service, and pass along the hospitality you have received.
There is a sign-up sheet just outside the kitchen door.
Cleaning
Angels Needed
Mostly the same few people provide help in this important ministry.
Lighten the load, and spend a fews hours once in a while on your
knees and hands, so to speak, keeping God's house praiseworthy.
There is a sign-up sheet just outside the kitchen door, or better
yet, make Barb Tourville's day, and let her know you want to help.
May
13th Food Drive
National Letter Carriers Association will hold a Food Drive
on Saturday, May 13th to restock food shelves. You can leave your
food items at your mail box and donations will be picked up.
