The word "Acolyte" is derived from the word "akolouthos," Greek for attendant or helper. At Trinity, the role of the acolyte is to assist the Priest by carrying one of the crosses, torches, or the Gospel Book. Usually, children and youth fill the positions.
ACOLYTES
ALTAR GUILD

LECTORS, CHALICE BEARERS & EUCHARISTIC VISITORS
Tina Perry
Lectors proclaim the Word of God by reading the assigned scriptures from both the Old and New Testament. Chalice Bearers assist with distributing the wine during Holy Communion. Lay Eucharistic Visitors are licensed by our Bishop to administer the consecrated bread and wine to those who are unable to come to church. These ministries require training.
MUSIC MINISTRY
John Lee Bonner
The Music Ministry provides an opportunity to express faith-based participation enhancing our worship experience through song and instruments.
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Ilene Pena
A member of the congregation reads Prayers of the People during the Eucharist service. It is a way to serve God and your church family. It requires very little time or training.
