Acolytes
Serving as an acolyte provides
the opportunity for youth and adults to take active leadership roles in the
worship of the parish. They lead
processions carrying the cross, torches, banner and gospel book. They collect and present the offerings of our life and labors to the Lord. They assist the clergy in preparing the altar for Holy Communion. They ring the sanctus bells as a sign of God's holy presence. And finally, they do whatever is necessary to help the services run smoothly. We are always seeking young
enthusiastic people for this ministry.

Altar Guild
Members of the altar guild prepare the altar for each worship service. They care for the vessels and linens used for holy communion. They polish brass and silver and arrange flowers to adorn God's house with beauty and honor. They work dutifully, prayerfully and reverently, offering their varied gifts and talents to the glory of God. New members
are always welcome.

Episcopal Church Women

All women in the church are members of the ECW. The ECW hosts various
parish functions and activities throughout the calendar year, and raises outreach funds which are distributed to the Franklin Cooperative Ministry, the Jackson Feild Home for Girls, the Boys Home and others. The ECW is service
oriented and conducts outreach activities and other functions within the
parish.

Lay Eucharistic Ministers/lectors
The reading of God's word is a ministry that enlightens, inspires and guides the congregation and
the readers to a clearer understanding of the meaning and power of the Holy Scriptures. LEMs also offer the prayers of the people, and assist at services. They have the unique and special blessing of offering the chalice to God's people of all ages.

Ushers
Ushers/Greeters prepare the
worship space (clean-up, stage collection baskets, place gift baskets.) Ushers also greet all parishioners as they
enter our worship space, pass out programs or other information to worshipers
and assist parishioners in seating arrangements. They also assist our treasurer by counting the Sunday offerings.

Youth Ministries
We are committed to provide a safe, healthy, supportive church community and empower our youth to live abundant lives which include faith, fun, mission and service. We go on various excursions throughout the year, like our
recent kayaking trip to Windmere pond. We also enjoy lock-ins and other youth events.
Contact: Eric Cooke
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
