Acolyte

No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

Matthew 5:15

An Acolyte assists in the worship service by carrying either the processional cross or a torch. If trained, they can also serve as a thurifer (one who carries the incense).  It is a wonderful way to participate in the worship service.  All ages, once old enough to carry the torch (approx. 9yrs and up) are welcome to be a part of this ministry.  Training is required.  For more information, contact Martha Thalheimer at thalheimer@slechurch.org.

 

To join, the time commitment is usually one Sunday morning per month. The only meetings we hold are the training sessions that we hold as needed.
