Liturgical Ministries
Liturgy, like any form of public worship, is the work of the people. As a people of faith, we are called to serve our sisters and brothers at liturgy through the various liturgical ministries. All liturgical ministers are asked to commit to an initial training and formation session; additional time commitments vary with each ministry. Ministers are scheduled through the Worship office on a master schedule, so that families may serve in various ministries at the same liturgy. With all volunteer ministries, a minimum commitment of one year is requested. Specific time commitments vary with each ministry.

Volunteers are recruited from the annual Stewardship Renewal forms each spring. This ministry helps out on Sunday morning counting the collection from the weekend offertory. Each team is scheduled with at least four team members and one or two people who are proficient with a 10-key calculator. Team members are required to go through a training class.
