Acolytes and Water Pourer
Pouring the baptismal water and lighting the Christ Candle are vital parts of our worship service. There is a sign-up sheet for Sundays in the narthex of the church for children and youth are interested in being a part of the service in this way. We will have a training for new Acolytes and Pourers after worship on September 17. Contact Jenny Newman for more information.
