ASSISTING AT WORSHIP

Acolytes

For over 75 years, young people have served as acolytes in worship through the Order of Saint John, providing leadership for our worship experience. Acolytes carry the processional cross, torches, banners, and gospel book in the processions, light candles, and assist the pastors at Baptisms and Holy Communion.

Communion Assistants

Trained leaders assist the pastors in the distribution of the sacrament at the Lord’s Supper. Communion Assistants schedule themselves by using SignUp Genius. Contact the church office at 402-341-7761 or info@kmlchurch.org for an invitation and link to SignUp Genius.

Altar Guild

Members care for the vestments, vessels, paraments, linens, and elements used in our worship services. They prepare for Holy Communion and Baptisms, clean the brass, silver, and gold altar ware, change the paraments to reflect the appropriate liturgical color and season, and launder altar linens and albs. To volunteer, call the church office at 402-341-7761 or info@kmlchurch.org.

Ushers

Greet and welcome members, and visitors as they arrive for worship, provide them with bulletins, assist with seating if necessary, gather the gifts to bring forward at the offertory, guide worshippers to Holy Communion, and stand ready to assist in any way necessary. To volunteer, contact Jim Smejkal at 402-341-7761 or jim@kmlchurch.org.

Lectors

Trained lectors read the Old Testament and New Testament lessons at the Eucharist, lead the responsive reading of the Psalm when it is not sung, and read select scripture lessons at special services.
