Licensed Lay Readers are licensed by the Bishop of the Diocese, after receiving training from the clergy, this group of eleven men and women serve each Sunday and for special services at the 8:00 and 10:30 services, serving the Chalice during communion and assisting the priest.
 
Lectors read the appointed lessons from the Revised Common Lectionary each Sunday and during other services.
They are trained, but do not have to be licensed by the Bishop.
 
Intercessors lead the congregation in the Prayers of the People at all services.  Customarily they come to the pulpit fro the congregation, unless serving in another ministry at the altar.
 
Lay Eucharistic Visitors  are trained by the priest and licensed by the Bishop of the Diocese to take communion to parishioners who are unable to attended services for health reasons.  
 

Ushers are the first members of the parish to be met when other members and visitors come to worship.  A warm friendly greeting, along with help in finding a seat, conveys that our church cares about all people, and is glad to have them worship with us. 
 
Training is provided for anyone interested in this ministry.
