Worship at St. Paul’s‑in‑the‑Pines is a shared, participatory experience. Many hands and hearts contribute each week to make our services reverent, joyful, and welcoming. Below are the key roles within our worship ministries:
Eucharistic Minister: Assists the priest in administering Holy Communion during the service. May also lead prayers.
Lector: Proclaims the Word of God by reading the appointed Scripture lessons during worship.
Crucifer/Acolyte: Carries the processional cross and assists at the altar during the service, lights/extinguishes altar candles, rings the Sanctus bells
Altar Guild: Prepares the sanctuary and altar for worship, including setting up communion elements, linens, and sacred vessels. Cleans and restores items after each service.
Usher: Greets and assists parishioners and visitors, distributes bulletins, helps with seating, collects the offering, and guides the flow during Communion.
Teller: Assists with counting and recording the offering after each service, helping to ensure faithful and accurate stewardship.
Each of these ministries offers a unique way to serve and connect more deeply with our worship life. Training is available, and we welcome new volunteers with open arms.
