Worship Support

 
Lectors and Lay Eucharistic Ministers
 
Lectors read lessons during the services. Lay Eucharistic Ministers have been trained and are licensed by the Bishop to assist with Holy Communion. They also read the prayers. For more information, contact Shirley Parsons at 524-7382.
 

Altar Guild/Flower and Wedding Committees
 
The Altar Guild is divided into six committees working two months in each year. The Flower Committee arranges the flowers for the altar and side altar. The Wedding Committee is a small group of women who are assigned on a rotating basis to help couples with their weddings. They consult with the bride and direct the rehearsal and the wedding. For more information, please contact Vola Whitcomb at 524-1776.



Ushers
 
 
Ushers assist the clergy and congregation at worship services, funerals, and other occasional events. They serve an average of once a month. For more information, contact Bill McDuff at 522-9056.


Acolytes
 
Young people, age 11 through high school, serve as acolytes in the procession and at the altar during Sunday services. At times, they are also asked to serve at weddings, funerals, and other special services.
  • If you are interested in serving the Lord in this special way,
  • If you would like to be a Crucifer (the person that carries the cross),
  • If you would like to be a server at the altar, assisting with the service,
  • If you would like to serve at weddings and other special ceremonies of the church, and,
  • If you are 11 years old, or older, and haven’t completed high school,
Then call John Barber at 525-1316 about joining the acolytes of St. Helena’s.


Sunday Evening Service

The 6:00 p.m. service of Holy Eucharist is for anyone who prefers a more casual liturgy and music. Whether you’ve just spent the day on the river, getting back into town, or looking for a new church home, come just as you are! After the service join us for pizza and fellowship in the Parish Hall. Lay minister opportunities abound assisting clergy as readers, Lay Eucharistic Ministers, altar guild, ushers, and the hospitality committee. Please contact Nancy Pickering at 263-0444.
