| THE CHOIR You don't have to read
music! You don't have to be an opera star! Just show up at 7:45
Wednesday evening and become part of a really nice group of people who
help inspire us all. We'll find out where you fit in best, and you'll
find out what a great time you've been missing. A Children's Choir is
under the direction of the organist. Any child from first grade up is
welcome to join. They rehearse after church on Sundays and sing about
once a month in church.
THE ALTAR GUILD
Did you ever walk in to church and say to yourself . . . WOW!
Doesn't the altar look beautiful.? Well, that's the result of
volunteers giving their time in setting up the altar for Sunday
services. If you have some time one afternoon and wonder what to do
with it, give a call and find out what you can do to help—that's all
it takes—a few hours a week of your time to help make our church
beautiful. Flowers for the altar are gifts from the people of the
parish. A sign-up sheet is posted in the rear of the church.
USHERS
Men and women are welcomed as ushers, both single and as couples.
During the summer, a whole family can take over ushering for a
service. Ushers commit themselves for a month at a time but we have
stand-bys if for some reason you cannot make a Sunday. Monthly
schedules are made up during November and December. If you're
interested, call the parish office and you'll get a call back to find
out which month is most convenient.
ACOLYTES / CRUCIFERS
Boys and girls ten years old and over are needed to assist at the
altar during all church services. These young people carry the
crucifix, light candles, receive the offerings, and help the
celebrant. Those interested should contact the Rector for further
information.
LAY READERS
The Church of the Saviour is proud of the group of Lay Readers in
our parish. Men and women are finding it rewarding to participate
actively in the readings and other parts of the services. If you are
interested in becoming part of our programs, start today and call the
Rector. The Lay Readers regularly take services to a local nursing
home.
COUNTERS
The counters are a group of parishioners who gather after the
Sunday 10 o'clock service and put together a financial statement to be
passed on to our Finance Committee. You can offer your time for an
entire month or by the week.
COFFEE HOUR
Coffee hour is an informal gathering of parishioners that takes place
after the 10 o'clock service every Sunday except Christmas. Members
of the parish volunteer hosting coffee hour, providing coffee, tea,
and cake for the adults and juice and cookies for the children.
Donations are accepted to offset the cost of the refreshments. Anyone
may attend, and those who do usually find the coffee hour a good
opportunity to catch up on social as well as church business.
GREETERS
A family of the parish can sign up to be greeters for a month.
Greeters do exactly that: greet people going in church and during
coffee hour to get to know them and bring new friends into our parish
life. |
