Worship Ministry Descriptions

This is an overview of each of the ministries that support the worship services at St. Andrew’s, all of which are open to both men and women. 

Greeters & Ushers

Welcome worshippers with a warm smile, offer name tags, and help newcomers feel at home. Prepare the sanctuary, hand out bulletins, light candles, assist with seating, take the offertory, guide people to communion, and tidy up after the service. Working as a team, they help ensure everything runs smoothly before, during, and after worship.

Altar Guild & Chalice Bearer

Behind-the-scenes and at the altar, these volunteers prepare and care for the sanctuary, altar linens, vestments, and vessels. The Chalice Bearer assists the priest during Communion by offering the chalice of wine to the congregation.

Lectors

Read Scripture and lead prayers during worship. Enjoy public reading and prepare ahead to speak clearly and confidently.

Choir

Volunteers who love to sing and help lead worship music. Rehearsals are Wednesdays, 4:00–5:30 PM. Sing during the season from November–April.

Coffee Hour Host

Provide food for Sunday Coffee Hour. Sign up in the narthex or contact the office at 941-964-2257.
