Worship

We Love God – through worship, sacraments, prayer, attention to the scriptures, and how we live.

Welcome!

Worship in the Episcopal Church seeks to create an experience of wonder and awe. We give our best efforts to liturgy and music. This is our thankful response to the creating love of God, the saving life of Jesus, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Our worship is shaped by the traditions of the Episcopal church. Our guide is the Book of Common Prayer. Most of our hymns are from Hymnal 1982, Lift Every Voice and Sing (LEVAS), and Wonder, Love, and Praise (WLP).

Choir

Our choir raises a joyful voice every Sunday during our worship service. We sing contemporary music and traditional hymns. Practice is every Wednesday at 7:00PM in the church.

Ushers

One of the first impressions visitors have to St. Christopher’s is through their contact with ushers. Ushers direct parking, greet and hand out service sheets, distribute collection plates, assist in communion and help clean up after the service.

Acolytes

Acolytes assist in worship by leading processions and helping to set and clear the altar for communion. Youth in 5thgrade and older are especially encouraged to participate.

Children’s Ministry

Opportunities exist to assist with Godly Play and the nursery. We will gladly train you to be a storyteller, and our children need your positive affirmation and attention. No experience necessary but a love for children required. All Children’s ministry volunteers are required to attend training in Safeguarding God’s Children and pass a background check.

Altar & Flower Guild

The altar guild works behind the scenes to help ensure everything is ready for worship. The guild helps to prepare the altar for our services, clean up afterward, arrange our flowers and so much more.

Eucharistic Ministers

Lay Eucharistic ministers assist in distributing the wine during communion. When acolytes are unavailable, the Lay Eucharistic Ministers also serve in this role. Training is provided by our Priest and all are licensed by the Diocese.

Lectors / Intercessors

Lectors read the lessons for our Sunday service and intercessors lead the prayers. We encourage readers and intercessors to prepare during the week to further understand the lessons read on Sunday, and pray for those on our prayer list.
