Worship Ministries
It takes many loving hands and hearts to prepare for worship each Sunday and for our special worship services. We rely on the generous spirits of those willing to help bring it all together. Here you can learn who to contact and how you can get involved as a member of the Altar or Flower Guild, as an Usher or Acolyte, Lector, and more.
Acolyte
For anyone 9 years old and above including adults, our acolytes serve at worship services assisting our clergy by leading the processions, helping with the preparation of the Altar for Holy Communion, and leading younger children to Children’s Chapel. Being an acolyte gives our youth an up-close-and-personal perspective on their church laying a foundation for a deeper experience of their faith. Please contact Mary Margaret Freeman at 901-336-1790 or marymargaretfree@gmail.com
Altar Guild
The beauty of our church is enhanced by dedicated members of the Altar Guild who work in teams to prepare the church for worship each week. Newcomers are paired with experienced guild members in creating a sacred space for all.
Please contact Marion Rossman at 901-755-1084 or dmrossman7@bellsouth.net for more information.
Lay Eucharistic Ministers
Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs) assist the clergy in worship services and during weddings and funerals. With training, this important ministry is open to all men and women of the parish.
