Discipleship

Eucharistic Ministers or Chalice Bearers are people who have been licensed by the Bishop to administer Communion during the Holy Eucharist.  They may also be asked to read or acolyte.  Training is provided.   <back to top  

 

Eucharistic Visitor

 

Similar to our Eucharistic Ministers, the Eucharistic Visitors are assistants who are licensed by the Bishop to administer Communion away from Saint George's to those who cannot attend Sunday Services.  As an Euchristic Minister you may bring Communion to private houses, hospitals and nursing homes.  Safeguarding Training is required.   <back to top  

 

Ushers

 

At each service, Ushers greet worshippers and distribute the bulletin.  Working in teams of two, Ushers also count the attendance, collect the offering and direct people to the altar during Communion.    <back to top  

 

Tellers

 

The Teller's function is to record the congregation's contributions received each Sunday.  They work in teams of two and complete a 'Tally Sheet' that helps our Treasurer accurately account for pledges.   <back to top  

 

Vestry

 

The Vestry is the governing body of Saint George's and consists of nine members.  Every year three members are elected to serve a three year term at our Annual Meeting in January.  The work of the Vestry is crucial to the life of the congregation.     <back to top

Saint George's Sunday School Teachers and Youth Leaders guide our children and youth through their life in Christ.  On-line training is required.     <back to top  

 

Episcopal Church Women (ECW)

 

Our ECW provideds outreach, ministry and fellowship.  All women are welcom to join their meetings at 10am on the first Tuesday of the month (September - June).  Our ladies enjoy many activities including blanket making, luncheons, game nights and rummage sales.  In addition, the ECW coordinates all funeral luncheons held at Saint George's.   <back to top
