SERVE AT THE CHURCH
Remember 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, about how the body of Christ is made up of different parts? That’s how it is at Royal Redeemer. We’re one body with a whole bunch of talented, useful parts: open arms that greet people, voices that sing in choirs and praise bands, feet that lead little children, hands that pray for others, ears that control sound equipment during worship services and eyes that control visuals and lighting, and more.
What part are you?
Altar Guild
The Sanctuary Altar Guild maintains the chancel area for worship services in the Sanctuary each week. Responsibilities include cleaning the chancel, changing paraments and candles, and preparing (and cleaning up) Holy Communion elements. This team also prepares for baptisms, weddings, funerals and Confirmation services.
For contemporary worship in the (CAC), the CAC Altar Guild prepares and cleans up elements for Holy Communion and baptisms.
Training is available for new volunteers, and you won’t need to work alone until you’re comfortable doing so.
