Acolytes
Helping in Worship at a young age build lasting experiences. Young people starting in the 2nd grade assist in worship by lighting and extinguishing the candles and receiving the offering plates.
Altar Guild
Provides a team of two per month to change the altar cloths and banners according to the seasons of the church year and to prepare for communion.
Children's Sermon Presenters
A children's sermon ('Kids Corner') is presented at both services about twice a month, normally on the second and fourth Sunday's. Presenters may choose to share at one or both services. Guidelines and source materials are available.
Communion Assistants
These persons assist the pastor with distributing the wine at all communion services. To assist, with the communion, a person must be a confirmed member of Grace Lutheran Church.
Crucifers
Crucifers are persons (youth or adult) who carry the processional cross at the beginning and conclusion of the traditional worship service (first service). Contact Pastor Mark if interested in serving as a crucifer or crucifer coordinator.
Drama Team
This group for all ages works together to bring scriptures alive during worship services.
Greeters
Greeters welcome everyone who comes to worship each Sunday.
Pew Organization
This group is one that does "behind the scenes" jobs that happen each week. The attendance pads and card holders are checked for supplies, neatness, and pencil sharpening. This ministry provides a welcoming atmosphere to all who worship.
Scripture Readers
Every Sunday the first two scripture lessons are read by lay persons in each service. (The Pastor reads the Gospel.) The texts are provided to the readers ahead of time for preparation. Along with many other congregations in the ELCA, we are now using readings from the Revised Common Lectionary.
Sound Room
Operators become familiar with the sound equipment for setup and operation, make CDs of the services, and monitor sound output.
Ushers
Ushers help all who come to worship to feel welcome. They hand out bulletins, seat people, and perform numerous other duties to assist worshipers during the services and other functions at Grace. A detailed instruction list is given each usher.
Video Ministry Operators
Operators input the service material into Media Shout software, select and edit background graphics, operate any video clips, review and operate the software each week, for the Audio/Visual system in the Sanctuary.
Worship Planning Group
This group meets to plan visual decorations and many other elements of worship for the church seasons (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost.) This includes special events, as well as the normal operations we depend upon for the worship services each Sunday.
