Choir Music is one of God's greatest gifts to humankind and at St. Philips we offer that music back to God, by glorifying him in our worship with voices of all ages. Music has the power to inspire, to console, to comfort and to heal.

Our ushers extend a friendly welcome to parishioners and visitors at each service. Working in teams they help seat people, distribute bulletins, pass the alms basins and assist newcomers in finding their way around the church grounds. Any confirmed parishioner may train for this work.

Eucharistic Ministers

Parishioners are trained and licensed to serve at Eucharists. Eucharistic Ministers are assigned to assist during Sunday services.

The Altar Guild is responsible for preparingall things necessary for the celebration of the Eucharist or any other sacraments and offices of the church.

Any young person in grades 3-12 may take an active role in worship by serving as an acolyte. Acolytes are trained and then assigned to serve, primarily on Sundays, at the 10:00 a.m. service as well as at festival services.

Lay Eucharistic Ministers

Each Sunday a parishioner trained in Eucharistic Ministry receives blessed sacraments that can be taken and given to any homebound or hospitalized church member. Contact the church office to request that communion be delivered to you or a loved one in the parish.

Parishioners are recruited and assigned to serve as Sunday lectors and intercessors. They may be asked to read at any of the four services and on special occasions.
