When we speak of the Liturgy Ministries such as proclaimers of the word, people who welcome us to church and servers to assist the priest, we articulate ways the members of the church take on specific tasks to build God’s Kingdom and bring someone closer to Jesus. This is the opportunity to be of service to the whole faith community. Children, women, and men who have answered a call in their lives, step forth and offer their skills in service to the public worship of the community.
This commission is composed of members of church at large and representatives from each ministry. Our purpose is to advise the pastor in matters and policy relating to the liturgical life and spirit of the church community. This includes prayer, public worship, songs and environment. Working in consultation with all liturgical ministries within the church, this committee has a primary responsibility for preparation and evaluation of the seasons and events of the liturgical year. Preparation is carried out in a manner that makes each liturgy a spiritual and communal celebration. The committee interacts with all committees in order to best meet the needs of all, and is responsible for fostering education and the prayer life of the church community. This committee meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm in the rectory.
