8th grade youth will serve on a rotating basis at either the early or late traditional services of worship in the Sanctuary. Also, acolytes will have the opportunity to serve at special services, such as Advent, Lent, and Christmas.
Pastor Reiners will train the 7th grade acolytes before they take over duties from the current 8th grade in May of 2011. Acolyting is one way youth can serve their Lord in His Church.
Upon arrival at church, report to the Lay Minister that you are the acolyte. There may be special instructions for the serve that you will need to know. When lighting candles, always begin at the cross and end at the cross.
The schedule will be listed each month in the newsletter. You are responsible to get your own substitute, by trading times of service with other 8th graders, if you are unable to acolyte when you are scheduled. Call the church office and let them know who your substitute is.
Please dress respectfully for leading in worship as an acolyte - no tennis or jogging shoes and no blue jeans. No gum!!!
During a Baptism, one acolyte will hold the Baptism candle and light it at the start of the Baptism service; the other acolyte will hold the banner with the child’s name. It needs to be held high enough for the congregation to see the banner.
If you have any questions about serving as an acolyte, please speak with Pastor Reiners.
