Altar Flower Ministry

Picture
The beautiful flowers you see every Sunday at the Altar are provided by YOU and the Altar Flower Ministry.  Headed by Mrs. Ann Burton, this ministry is responsible for ensuring that the flowers are ordered and placed on the altar for each worship service.  At the end of the service with the help of Altar Guild, these flowers are broken into smaller arrangements and taken to the sick and homebound.  Flowers are donated by our parishioners and an acknowledgement for each donation is included in the Sunday bulletin.  These dedications can be made in honor or, in thanksgiving for, or in memory of someone.  To learn how to dedicate your donation, please select the Altar Flower Ministry box on the "I want to learn more" page. 

Post Service Coffee

Picture
From fresh fruit to home baked muffins to mini cinnamon rolls, the Post Service Coffee ministry provides refreshments following the 10:30am service.  On good weather days, you can find this much appreciated snack with coffee and drinks set-up under the bell; on not so good weather days, we gather in the Parish Hall.  Many join together after the service to enjoy food and fellowship.  Parishioners sign up for this ministry and work on a rotating basis, bringing refreshments, setting up, and cleaning up when it’s done.  If you are interested in creating a new team or joining an existing one, we would love to have you.  For information, please select the Post Coffee Service box on the "I want to learn more" page.   

Holy Smokers

Picture
The Holy Smokers are a fun group of parishioners who get together and cook meat for our events on the smoker parked out back.  We have had hamburger and hotdogs, brisket, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, you name it!  All of it prepared to perfection.  During thanksgiving, we sold smoked turkey breasts to congregants and the surrounding community.  With specialty rubs and secret sauces, all we can say is a job well done! Thanks goes to Fr. Mark, Tom Sutton, Steven Norman, Jim Anderson, Warren Bryant, Dion Cole, and Mike Black.  By the way, women ARE welcome. For information, please select the Holy Smokers box on the "I want to learn more" page.   ​

The Parish Life Ministry

The Parish Life Activities Ministry, under the direction of the Vestry, has dedicated members who organize all of our food oriented events.  They ensure that the Parish Hall is set up for upcoming events and plan the menu.  Then come the day of the activity, they provide the food, through catering, baking, or potluck, and drinks, such as refreshing lemonade, coffee, water, and secret recipe homemade punch. This ministry makes fellowship comfortable and enjoyable, by making things run smoothly, and taking care of us.  Carol Goulet, leader of this ministry, is looking for you secret chefs to step forward and offer your culinary skills.
