Worship Committee

Contact: Tom Reynolds

The Worship Committee is a dedicated group of parishioners and staff that meet regularly to discuss upcoming liturgical events, holidays, and feast days. They make decisions about which versions of prayers we use in Sunday worship and plan occasional services. The Worship Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month.

Lectors read the lesson during Sunday services and at other special services throughout the year. As intercessors, they also lead the congregation in the prayers of the people. Most lectors serve once per month. No formal training is required.

 

Ushers

Contact: Dave Hoffstetter

The Usher Ministry is one of hospitality and assistance, particularly for newcomers but also for members in need. Men, women and young adults perform whatever usher duties are necessary every Sunday to help parishioners; being mindful to promote a sense of reverence, to limit disruptions and to be prepared to assist with health emergencies, should they arise. You will always see a smile on the face of the usher as they truly enjoy what they do and their service to St. Aidan's.
