WORSHIP GUILDS
Each Sunday, our worship services rely on dozens of people who serve our parish to ready it for worship, sacraments, services, and prayer. We are always looking for more volunteers in the ministries listed below. If you feel called to serve at Epiphany, please reach out to the rector to get connected. Training is provided.

MINISTRIES
Acolytes
Acolytes—baptized persons from those in 4th grade and above, including adults—enhance worship by leading processions, carrying banners, and serving at the altar.
Altar Flowers & Sanctuary Light
The Altar Flowers and Sanctuary Light may be given in memory or in thanksgiving of loved ones on Sundays. Sign up at epiphany.org/rsvp if you would like to make an offering to Epiphany for altar flowers or the sanctuary light in honor of someone.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild consists of parishioners who work in teams once a month to prepare the church for worship services, the administration of the sacraments, the celebration of the seasons of the church and feast days, and the care of the linens and vessels. It is a quiet and reverent behind-the-scenes ministry.
AV Guild
The Audio Visual (AV) Guild is responsible for running the livestream of our Sunday services and other special liturgical celebrations. This ministry is vital for our parishioners who are sick and homebound, and others who cannot attend worship with us on Sunday or our other celebrations.
Baptismal Banners
Felt Baptismal Banners are prepared by church members for each child baptized and are displayed during the liturgy. All crafters are welcome to create these simple, cherished offerings.
Flower Guild
The Flower Guild prepares flower offerings for Sundays, weddings and funerals, and decorates the church for feast days.
Lectors, Lay Readers, & Lay Eucharistic Ministers
Lectors, Lay Readers, and Lay Eucharistic Ministers read the lessons (Lectors), lead the Prayers of the People (Lay Readers), and assist in administration of Holy Communion (LEMs).
Ushers
Ushers support worship by locating seats, passing out bulletins, collecting and presenting the alms and oblations, and guiding people to communion stations. Ushering is an opportunity to meet new people first and welcome them to our family at Epiphany.
Vergers
Vergers are an appointed group of people that work in service of the liturgy. Vergers prepare for the liturgy, they lead processions, fill in vacancies, and tend the needs of the clergy during the liturgy.
