Acolyte Training

Friday, September 13 at 5:00 pm

All 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders are invited to join our acolyte team. This training is specific for this very important worship assistant role, where you can learn more about what happens, ask questions, and practice a bit. Parents are expected to attend the training along with their child(ren). Training will last approximately 45 minutes.

Acolytes carry the light of Jesus into the worship service and light the candles. They also assist with offering and communion. At the end of the service, they relight their torch and lead us out of worship, symbolizing the light of Christ is found wherever we are in the world.

Acolytes need to arrive about 10 minutes before the service. They find a robe that fits them in the room behind the sound booth, called the sacristy. Then they walk from the sacristy to the altar with the assisting minister and pastor(s) during the opening hymn and light the candles. At the end of the service, they walk out with the pastor(s) and assisting minister at the end of the service.
