With flexible schedules and at your own pace, YOU can become a Chalice Administrator!  The work is not difficult nor is it demanding.  Neither Sainthood nor attendance at seminary is required.    We welcome you as you are and encourage you to contact Father Weaver for additional information and details.

You will find it a privilege to serve the Lord in His Church!  Please, join us now!

ACOLYTES

Please let Father Weaver know when you will be away during the summer.  If he does not hear from you by May 14, 2006 - he will assume you are available for the entire summer and schedule you accordingly.  When scheduled, it is the responsibility of each acolyte to obtain a substitute if they cannot cover an assignment.

CHOIR

Rehearsal - Tuesdays, 7:30 pm from September to June.

 

HEAVENLY HELPERS
 
Volunteers offer their most precious commodity, their time.  Assist shut-ins, or people who have no transportation.  Help them make doctor's appointments, pick-up prescriptions, or do a little grocery shopping.  You could even do the marketing for them.  Sometimes the ill or elderly infirm just need a daily phone call to see if everything is OK. 
 
This is a valued ministry in this community and those who avail themselves of this service consider the volunteers to be guardian angels.
 
To volunteer your time (which could be as little as a half hour a week) or to make use of these services (you can call on behalf of a relative or friend) call or e-mail:
 
Sharon Wolpert     262-0791
The Church Office  261-7670

 

CONFIDENCE CLOSET
 
Located in the Trinity Thrift Shop and staffed by the Thrift Shop volunteers, the Confidence Closet provides a unique service to young women entering the job market.  The Catch 22 is that to get a good job, you must dress for the job. But to afford better work clothes, you need the money that comes with the better job. 
 
To break this cycle for young women who want to leave poor paying employment behind and make a success of their lives, the Confidence Closet offers gently used and some new business suits and dresses, blouses and shoes and complete ensembles.  The clothes are stylish, there is a large stock from which to choose,
and an experienced and knowledgeable sales person will assist in putting together some great looking, well fitted outfits.
 
Here's the best part.  Payment for the clothes, which is quite reasonable to begin with, is only due after you start cashing paychecks!
 
Make an appointment for the Confidence Closet today and take a big step toward a better future.
                          Call Sharon Wolpert     262-0791

 

WELCOMING

The goal of this most important ministry is to bring those who have come through our door all the way into our hearts. We will greet the new faces we see at Services and welcome them into our church, inform them of our varied services and programs and introduce them to our parish family.

 

 

HOSPITALITY

The coffee hour following the main Sunday service is not just a chance to hang out and chit-chat, although, that activity is at the core of Fellowship!  Coffee hour is a meeting place to attend to church business, it is a forum to discuss concepts of doctrine, and it is the perfect place to introduce would-be members to their new parish. The process of setting up the kitchen, making the coffee and preparing the hall is not difficult.  By sharing the responsibility for this important task, each of us will contribute to our parish as we lighten the load for all.  

Schedule to follow.

 

RECYCLING

Mary Jo Bartlett and Ruth Varsha have teamed up to see that all deposit containers are properly collected and returned for refund.  In this space, expect to find future projects involving collection of recyclables and gathering of money for worthy purposes.  There are collection containers in the kitchen. Last year $75 in recycling funds were donated to the Northport food pantry.
