Acolytes

Acolyting presents a visible and tangible way that the youth serve the parish as well as a way that they participate in stewardship ­ by offering their time and talent. The acolyte program at All Saint’s is philosophically part of our youth ministry. Acolytes rotate among four acolyte roles at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday service. Acolytes have an opportunity to serve as Crucifer/Altar Server, Gospel Server, Gospel Torch, and Epistle Torch. With this approach, we seek to instill in the youth that all roles at the altar are important and that serving your parish when it needs you represents true service.

We do just-in-time on-the-job training. New acolytes review and rehearse their roles 20-30 minutes before their Sunday morning service, focusing on what to do and how to serve with the appropriate decorum and posture.

Acolyte Sponsors support the acolyte program (1) by ensuring teams are ready before services and (2) by assisting with acolyte training. Additionally sponsors facilitate rapport and communication with other groups who serve at the altar.Sponsors get on-the-job training also so no previous acolyting experience is necessary. Fundraisers are held periodically to subsidize some costs of the trip to the National Acolyte Festival. We take advantage of our location by offering the church parking lot for the UT home football games asking for freewill donations.

We welcome all parishioners to become involved with the Acolyte ministry, especially youth of acolyting age (9+ years old) and their parents. We are ready to help you serve in this ministry.

Treasurer; Head of Acolytes; EYC Sponsor

More

Altar Guild

The All Saints’ Altar Guild continues our ministry of caring for the accoutrements of worship: from vessels to vestments to furnishings. Altar Guild members are trained for the procedures used in preparing for services in the church and chapel. Teams rotate on Sundays to serve for the week. Contact Donald Wertz for information about this ministry.

Greeters

A major part of the Newcomer & Visitor Ministry are the volunteers that make up the "Greeters". These volunteers greet those as they come to the 10:00 a.m. service on Sunday mornings. We are hopeful and intentional about making everyone welcome at All Saints’, and welcome ideas for doing that.

Lay Eucharistic Visitors

Lay Eucharistic Visitation continues to bless our homebound and hospitalized brothers and sisters. Members of this ministry take consecrated bread and wine to shut-ins or others who are unable to be present for Sunday worship. This is a ministry both necessary and extremely rewarding. Our practice has been to call on individual Eucharistic Visitors once every month or six weeks.

Lectors & Chalice Bearers

Lectors and Chalice Bearers are specially trained and licensed members of the congregation who assist clergy in the liturgy of the church. Lectors are responsible for preparing for and reading the scripture lessons, leading the reading of the psalms, and leading the Prayers of the People. They also assist clergy by bearing chalice (serving the congregation the wine) during the Sunday services and other special services at which the Eucharist is celebrated. Lectors and Chalice Bearers may serve as acolytes and crucifer, and be called upon to assist clergy during weddings and funerals. Contact Pamela Bell 512-560-1953 or [email protected]

Usher Corps

The Usher Corps Ministry at All Saints’ is a group of dedicated men and women serving at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday service as well as special services. The group is broken up into 10 teams, each with a team captain. The duties of the Ushers include distributing Orders of Services and other literature for services, providing the clergy with the number attending each service, collecting and counting the offertory, controlling the flow of people during communion, and making sure the services run smoothly. We are always in need of new Ushers. It’s a great way to serve All Saints’ and to meet lots of new people! For information about becoming an usher, contact David Saenz

Vergers

The vergers serve in a ceremonial role to assist the clergy during the worship service, particularly with any logistical details. At times, the verger takes on the role of an adult acolyte when needed. If interested in learning more about verging, contact Charlotte Sullivan, 512-442-4748 or [email protected]
