Altar Guild
Members of the Altar Guild are the guardians of a largely invisible
ministry. They assist the clergy in preparation for our worship. Their gifts
to the congregation include maintaining and caring for altar hangings and
linens, maintaining and caring for the liturgical brass and silver, and
decorating for the special services. They are charged with the care of the
altar and its preparation for worship.
Ushers and Greeters
St. John’s ushers and greeters are the “first line of hospitality” on Sunday
Mornings. They welcome people to the church, provide directions and
assistance when needed, collect the offering, guide people to communion,
locate people who wish to receive communion but who cannot come to the altar
rail, and in general, prepare for the unknown.
Lectors
Parishioners serve as readers or Lectors during regularly scheduled worship
services. They read the lessons from the Old and New Testaments and lead the
congregation in the Prayers of the People.
