Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from reader to host and everything in between.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.
~ 1 Peter 4:10
Servant Opportunities at Holy Trinity:
Greeters
The greeter at our church fills an important role. They are the first smile to greet our visitors. They are responsible for helping visitors, answering questions, and providing direction. The greeter is a servant-hearted volunteer whose ministry is integral to church life.
Music
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. We use a unique blend of traditional hymns and contemporary praise music. We currently are in need of new praise band members!
Readers
God’s Word is a part of our worship every Sunday. Each week, in addition the Gospel reading read by our priest, we have a reading from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament read by a lay reader. The reader will receive a copy of these two readings a week in advance for prayerful practice and study.
Prayer Warriors
Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Our Church is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. Each Sunday, during communion, an intercessor is available to pray with you at our healing altar. Throughout the week, volunteers from our intercessory team receive prayer requests from our church, community, and beyond. They pray for intercessions such as thanksgivings, healing, miracles, God’s providence, employment, guidance, inner peace, comfort in grief, and spiritual safety.
Additionally, we have an intercessor lead us in the Prayers of the People liturgy during Sunday worship. That intercessor does not have be part of our weekly prayer warriors,
Chalice Bearer
We celebrate communion each Sunday. The chalice bearer serves the wine and the liturgical words,
“The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for you, preserve your body and soul to everlasting life.”
Hosts
Each Sunday, following our time of worship, we gather in the fellowship hall for Coffee Hour. A time to connect with each other, perhaps a conversation stemming from the sermon, or simply catching up with one another. We nibble on treats and a great cup of coffee. (Juice and tea are also available.) The host provides the treats and juice.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild ministry exists to serve God in His house by preparing the Sanctuary for worship. Altar guild members receive instruction in setting up for services, removal and cleansing of vessels and linens after the services, as well as the care of the various vestments.
An Invitation to a Healing Journey
Dr. Terry Wardle, author of the Journey Curriculum used in healing care groups, has a series of five 20-25 minute videos that explore why it is important for Christians to be on a healing journey. These short sessions introduce the topic of emotional wounding and can be used to help cast a hopeful vision for deep healing and transformation available through Christ. You can access these videos and an accompanying listening guide (that can be used individually or in groups) on our website here. These videos would be helpful reminders to those who have participated in Journey groups as well as a good overview of what participation in a Journey group looks like to those who may wish to participate. A group will begin in January. Contact Kathy Sicard if you are interested.
