Volunteer Opportunities

Acolytes:  Ages 3rd grade to 100!!  Our Acolytes serve on the altar at 10:00am services, and special occasions.  They serve in many ways such as a book bearer, crucifer, torch bearer or server.  

Altar Flowers: Flowers are given in memory of loved ones or in thanksgiving at Sunday services.  A sign-up sheet is provided on the bulletin board.

Altar Guild:  The members of the Altar Guild prepare the altar for our services of Holy Eucharist.  They do many tasks to assure that all things needed to celebrate the Holy Eucharist are provided.  If interested in volunteering please see Martha Fernald.

Bell Choir:  We are blessed to have 50 hand bells here, and our Bell Choir rehearses each Thursday night at 7:30pm in the Choir Loft.  Our Choir Director, Jeff Stokley directs this lively group and a fun time is had by all!

Christian Education:  Help to give our children a sound Christian foundation.  Please see the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board to assist with church school classes.

Coffee Hour:  A time to talk and share our lives with fellow parishioners.  Volunteer to brew the coffee and bring the snack. 

Community Supper:  Volunteers from Trinity go to St. John's Episcopal Church, Bpt. every fourth Tuesday of the month, and help serve the meal.  Approximately 100 people are served.  We serve from 5:00 to 6:00pm.  For more specific information, please call the parish office.
