Acolytes, Chalice Ministers, Intercessors and Readers

Chalice Ministers serve the consecrated wine during our worship services. Readers and Intercessors read the lessons and the lead the Prayers of the People, respectively. Training is provided at the parish for these ministries. Young people participate monthly in reading as well. Reach out to the office if you would like to be part of these ministries.

Ushers

Ushers greet folks as they come in our doors, hand out programs, welcome visitors, and facilitate during communion.

Ushering is a ministry that provides connection and belonging. It is an essential way our community practices Jesus’ hospitality. Contact Rev. Amy if you are interested in serving as an usher.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild is a volunteer group of parishioners whose ministry is to beautify the worship space so everyone may be drawn into God’s presence with us. We provide care for the altar, vestments, vessels, and altar linens of the parish. Contact the office if you are interested in serving.

We love to have new people join us! A willing heart is all that is required.

Lay Eucharistic Visitors

Trained and licensed Lay Eucharistic Visitors bring consecrated elements and companionship to people in our community unable to join us in person. If you are interested in serving in this important ministry, please connect with Rev. Amy.

Helping Hands

Helping Hands is a pastoral care team that offers support for those needing care. People volunteer to bring meals, clean up lawns and snow, assist with daily tasks. If you would like to participate with the group; or if you would like to receive help from the group please reach out to Rev. Amy.

Hospitality

The Fellowship and Hospitality Committees promote celebration and socializing outside of a purely worship environment. The Hospitality Committee hosts receptions, dinners, and other social events, attempting to provide a friendly, welcoming environment for all parishioners and guests. If you are interested in becoming involved with this ministry please reach out to Rev. Amy.

Building and Grounds

The Buildings and Grounds Committee works with our Junior Wardens to coordinate and supervise work on our campus and help to make sure that our buildings are safe and comfortable. They maintain a big picture perspective to care for our campus for generations. Reach out to Rev. Amy if you are interested in serving on this committee.

Flower Guild

The Flower Guild provides the stunning flowers and arrangements that decorate our church. They also host periodic flower arrangement classes and social events, and help bring beauty to our church for special events. Please contact the office if you are interested in participating in this group, or contributing to the cost of flowers.

Prayers and Squares

Prayers and Squares is a beloved tradition at St. Matt’s bringing comfort and prayers to people when they need it most. This is a sewing group that makes prayer quilts requested by parishioners for members of our community. These quilts are given to those that are ill or in distress to wrap themselves in prayer. The quilts are blessed and tied together by all during our Sunday worship, so that we all become a part of this ministry.

If you can sew a straight line, you can help! Email the office to get involved.
