Serve the Church

Weekly worship is central to life at Holy Trinity Parish. Our Sunday and special services wouldn’t be possible without the countless volunteers working behind the scenes each week.

Acolytes

Acolytes help lead worship by carrying the crosses, torches, and Gospel book; lighting the candles; handling the offering plates and assisting with other ritual tasks.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild prepares the sanctuary for worship and removes the linens and vessels after the service. Members are responsible for the upkeep of many items used in worship.

Eucharistic Ministers

Lay Eucharistic Ministers include Chalice Bearers, Lectors, and Intercessors. After training, they serve on a monthly rotation for Sunday and special services. Persons of all ages who can handle the responsibilities may become a Eucharistic Minister.

Eucharistic Visitors

Lay Eucharistic Visitors share Holy Communion, conversation, and compassion by visiting parishioners who are unable, for various reasons, to attend church.

Greeters

Greeters welcome members and guests to the 8:00 am and 10:30 am services and give visitors guest bags that include a delicious loaf of bread.

Flower Guild

The Flower Guild prepares arrangements for the nave and chapel, as well as for funerals, weddings, and other services. They provide beauty to the glory of God.

Usher

Ushers distribute bulletins, collect and present the offerings, record the number of congregants, and guide the congregation in receiving Holy Communion.

Verger

Vergers direct and guide the worship leaders, including acolytes and Eucharistic ministers, to help the service flow smoothly.

Parish Life

The Parish Life committee brings the community of Holy Trinity Parish together for food, fun, and fellowship. Behind the scenes, volunteers keep the pantry stocked and linens washed and plan, shop, cook, and clean up at the many parish gatherings. All the while, they experience the special satisfaction that comes from serving others.

Coffee Hour

Coffee Hour is a time for church members to gather after each Sunday morning service for refreshments and fellowship. Volunteers for donut runs, set up, or cleanup are always appreciated!

Pastoral Care Team

The Pastoral Care Team has a monthly schedule to visit people who are sick or home-bound or going through important life events. They take flowers, send cards, sit and listen, and coordinate with the clergy on pastoral needs in the parish.

Souls 'N Stiches

Participants of Souls ‘n Stitches create prayer shawls which are given to parishioners, families, and friends in times of need and celebration. This group meets at HTP once a month. All are welcome to join.

Vestry

The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its temporal affairs and corporate property. Holy Trinity has seven members, including a Sr. and Jr. Warden, as well as a Treasurer and Clerk appointed by Fr. Greg. Vestry members are usually elected at the annual parish meeting.

Finance & Personnel

The Finance and Personnel Committee meets the second Tuesday of the month in Comer Commons to review the parish's finances and advise the vestry.

Investment

Holy Trinity's Investment Committee meets regularly to steward the parish's investments, including the Giles Bequest. They make management recommendations to the vestry and are available to advise the vestry as it governs the parish.

Buildings & Grounds

Holy Trinity's physical campus is a large one! And its buildings and ground require care. The Buildings & Grounds committee shares this responsibility, working with Fr. Greg, the vestry, and the Finance & Personnel Committee to ensure HTP's campus remains safe, usable, and welcoming to the HTP community.
