Serving
One of the keys to children growing in their faith and making it their own is serving in the church and community. Serving connects us to the very heart of God, helps us discover God in other people and gives us meaning, joy & purpose.
Why wouldn’t we want our kids to experience that?
Acolyte corps
Acolytes are young people who serve in key roles during the worship service. Acolytes lead the procession into the church, lead the Gospel procession with torches, receive the elements, ring the sanctus bells during the Eucharist and assist the clergy throughout the service.
Acolytes receive training and attend special Acolyte gatherings throughout the year.
Student Readers
We want children and youth to know they have a place at Calvary. One way to do that is to make sure that children and youth lead the readings and prayers during worship services. We offer periodic training to help everyone learn the ropes.
Youth Altar Guild
Every week, a small group gathers to prepare the bread and wine, the linens, the candles and all of the other supplies needed at the altar for worship. This ministry is more behind the scenes and offers time for quiet and reflection. Calvary recently formed a Youth Altar Guild to give young members an opportunity to learn this important ministry. Youth Altar Guild members learn by watching and doing.
