All worship services rely on the members of the acolytes who enhance the ritual of the liturgy. Acolytes carry the cross, torches, and banners in procession and at the reading of the Gospel. Acolytes also assist the ordained ministers at the altar as servers delivering the elements for the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist. While most acolytes are Confirmation candidates, all are welcome, including adults! Contact Pr. June at 476-6757 or jwilkins@saintmartins.org.

Open to Jr. High students through adults, this group of trained persons assists to facilitate worship. It is not a behind the scenes job. You interact directly, on a personal basis, with all the worshippers each time you serve. At all services, ushers welcome worshippers, pass out bulletins, receive our offerings, guide people during communion distribution, and straighten up afterward. Ushers are helpful and friendly with the strength to stand for several hours. Volunteers sign up for a rotation, and all are asked to be on hand for major worship services such as Christmas and Easter. Contact Norman Hummell at 837-3431.
