LEV The Lay Eucharist Visitor is important for maintaining the ties of all parishioners to our parish. Each Sunday, a different team takes Home Communion Kits that have been filled with the Holy Sacrament during that morning's church service, to those who are unable to attend due to health, disability, or other reasons. We carry the body and blood of our Lord, we provide and receive fellowship, and our lives are enhanced so much from those we visit. For more information, please contact the church office.
Acolytes Acolytes, 6th grade and above, serve as torchbearers, flag bearers, crucifers and servers, assisting at the altar during worship. For more information contact Anne Scott Huth.

make people feel welcome and provide direction and assist in answering questions.

Flower Guild This group meets for fellowship and the sheer joy of working with beautiful flowers. Our mission is to prepare the sanctuary for the glory of God. We make arrangements for the Sunday services, weddings, funerals, feast days and special occasions such as organ concerts. We reflect and enhance the symbolism of the worship experience. Teams of two or three alternate meeting each week. The average time commitment is three hours a month. Periodically, we also conduct workshops open to the congregation around holidays to make take home projects. For more information, contact Beth Orr.
Altar Guild Members care for the linens and vessels we use in our worship, care for the sanctuary and prepare the altar for all services. For more information contact Lorine Loder.
