Eucharistic Ministers and Acolytes

An Acolyte can be anyone 5th grade and higher. Acolyte means “follower.” Acolytes carry the processional cross and the torches. They assist at communion.
Eucharistic Ministers help serve Communion and lead the Congregation in the Prayers of the People. They also help in other parts of the service as needed.

Pew Torch Ministers fill the pew torches with oil after the 11:00 service in preparation for Evensong. They then place the torches at the end of the pews.

Ushers are the first people seen by those entering the church to worship. They answer questions, hand out bulletins, and collect the offering.
Lectors study the Bible. During the service lectors read the OT or NT lesson.
