All members of a congregation are called to be ministers of the church, both within and beyond the church walls.

Worship Leaders

Help lead worship on Sunday morning as you seek to serve God in others. No experience is necessary, and training is joyfully provided. We schedule all worship leaders online through the Ministry Scheduler Pro program. 

Acolytes

Children and youth ages 8-18 play an important role at Trinity on Sundays and important feast days. Acolytes light candles, carry the torches during the procession and recession, and actively assist clergy during the service. Training and supervision are provided for acolytes as they gain experience in servant leadership.

Altar Flowers

Every Sunday, altar flowers are placed on the chapel altar at the 8:00 am service and then moved to the main sanctuary for the later service. Members of the parish design and prepare the arrangements each week.  

Dedicating altar flowers is an excellent way to observe a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, wedding or baptism or to commemorate the death of a loved one. Each Sunday the flower dedication is included in the worship bulletin so parishioners can know in whose honor the flowers are given.  

To dedicate flowers, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., sign up online, or sign up in the “Flowers” book in the Atrium outside of the main sanctuary.

After the later service, families who dedicated the flowers are invited to take them home. 

On special occasions, like Christmas and Easter, we go full out and fill our wooden flower boxes in the main sanctuary to the brim with bursting color. On those occasions, parishioners are invited to give a gift of any amount and all of the dedications are listed in that day’s worship bulletin. 

Bread Bakers

Communion is celebrated at Trinity almost every week with a freshly baked loaf of bread. A dedicated group of parishioners take turns providing the bread, bringing it before the 8:00 am service. A Communion bread recipe is provided.

Lay Lectors 

Lectors read the holy scriptures each Sunday and lead the "Prayers of the People." Trinity has a large and committed group of lectors and welcomes anyone who wants to join the fold. On-site training is available. Youth and adults are welcomed into this ministry. 

Special services and feast days provide opportunities for parishioners not normally in the rotation to try out this ministry.  

Lay Eucharistic Ministers

Lay Eucharistic Ministers serve wine from the common cup at communion, following the priest who distributes bread. This is a powerful, quiet ministry with great meaning. Please contact a member of our clergy if you would like to participate.

Sacristans

The Sacristans (Altar Guild) are the behind-the-scenes workers of our worship ministry. These are the women and men who prepare both the chapel and the main sanctuary for weekly services and special feast days, weddings or funerals. The Sacristans take care of the linens, hangings, chalices, brass implements and more. Members work in teams and each team generally serves once per month. New members are always welcome and training is provided. Families are particularly welcome to this ministry. To join or learn more, This email address is being protected from spambots.

Servers

Older youth who have experience as acolytes can become servers, leading liturgical processions by carrying the cross and assisting the clergy during the liturgy. Servers also oversee the newer acolytes at the altar.

Ushers

Ushers meet and greet all who come to Trinity for worship. They distribute service bulletins, take the collection during the service, and bring the gifts of bread and wine to the altar for communion. Ushers are the unsung heroes of Sunday morning worship, working to create a warm and inviting environment. Ushers, in the words of theologian Henri Nouwen, help to create “a space wherein a stranger can enter and become a friend.” Individuals, couples and families all participate in this ministry of welcome.

Vergers

Those with leadership and organizational gifts for liturgy are called to be vergers, overall organizers of the service who team with parish clergy to ensure vibrant and well-ordered worship experiences for the whole community. Vergers make sure all worship leaders are present and ready to go, that the sound system is set, candles are lit, and the worship service flows smoothly.
