Chalice Bearers, Intercessors & Lectors

In the Episcopal Church there are many ways the

congregation can participate in worship.

A lector is someone who reads the lessons in a church service. As part of the Sunday service, two lectors are assigned to read: one person reads from the Old Testament, and the other reads from the New Testament.

The Prayers of the People are led by an intercessor.

A Chalice-bearer is the person who administers the chalice (the cup used to contain the wine) during Communion. Those who wish to serve in this capacity receive a brief training by the rector.

Participants are assigned dates and notified by email and surface mail. To find out more about serving in any of these ministries, contact:
