Serving within ones own church is a fundamental part of building a community of faith. There are lots of ways that you and your household can participate and help Church of Our Saviour continue to be the vibrant spiritual family it has become. Below are a few volunteer opportunities to serve the needs of this particular part of the body of Christ. Take a look around, sign up if you are able, and contact us with any questions.
Liturgical Ministers
Ushers
Often the first face guests see on Sundays, Ushers greet guests, help them find seats and restrooms, and assist with communion and attendance.
Sacristan
The Sacristan is responsible for cleaning up the sacred vessels and linens after the service and resetting the sanctuary.
Lectors
All ages are welcome to sign up to be a Lector. This role helps proclaim the word of God and will read one of the scripture passages.
Crucifer
This role is often used at major celebrations. The Crucifer is an acolyte or server who carries the processional cross in procession. This role vests and sits in the sanctuary with the altar party.
Acolyte
The Acolyte assists the Presider of the service. This role will vest and sit in the sanctuary with the altar party and help with communion and other tasks.
Eucharistic Minister
Eucharistic Ministers carry communion to members of the community who cannot attend church in person. This trained ministry would need to be able to travel to someone's home with the consecrated bread.
Hospitality Ministers
Coffee Hour Host
Coffee hours follow the 9am and 10:45am Sunday services. The Coffee Hour Host offers to provide some food to share. We provide the coffee setup and you simply drop off your food before service. It can be as simple or elaborate as you wish!
Angel Food
COS loves to care for it's own. When someone may find themselves facing a difficult moment such as the loss of a loved one, or a transition between jobs, or an illness, Angel Food Ministers provide a meal or two to help ease the stress and let you know you are loved. This ministry prepares food and delivers it to COSers in need.
