In-Church

Liturgical and Eucharistic Ministers

Eucharistic Ministers (EMs) assist the clergy during Sunday services, lead the prayers of the people, read scriptural passages, and help distribute the sacrament of communion. Following training, EMs are licensed by the diocese to perform their duties.

Altar Guild

Service on The Altar Guild is a quietly rewarding experience of caring for our sacred communion vessels, linens, and hangings, preparing the sanctuary for services and decorating the church for holidays.  Any member, male or female of the parish is welcome to serve on the Altar Guild.

Eucharistic Visitors

Eucharistic Visitors (EVs) are trained and licensed members of the parish who take already consecrated communion elements to those who cannot come to church. They provide a loving link between the church and those who are homebound or hospitalized.

Ushers

Ushers provide the first face of Grace Church to members and visitors as they distribute service leaflets, participate in the offertory, and generally provide assistance at Sunday services. Any member of the parish may serve as an usher. 

Lectors / Intercessors

Lectors are unlicensed laypersons who read assigned Bible passages and prayers at Sunday Services.
