- All Worship times may be subject to change; please check the weekly bulletin.
- Clergy are available for taking communion to those who are hospitalized or unable to attend services. Please contact the Church Office to make arrangements.
- Rite II features more contemporary language.
- *Taize' service a features unique style of worship music that reflects meditative nature of the community. Taize music emphasizes simple phrases, usually lines from Psalms or other pieces of Scripture, repeated and sometimes also sung in canon. The repetition is intended to aid mediation and prayer. Here at Saint Ann's Episcopal Church, we provide a Taize-style service to encourage people to slow down and experience God's presence as they worship and in their lives every day.
ACOLYTES / EMS / LECTORS
Acolytes
"Acolyte" comes from the Greek meaning "following, attending on." Acolytes assist in the setting of the altar for the Eucharist and carry torches in the gospel procession.
Eucharistic Ministers (EMs)
Eucharistic serve as chalice bearers at Eucharist. They distribute the blood of Christ to the congregation. At St Ann's, they also lead the congregation in the prayers of the people and in the reciting of the psalms (in the absence of a cantor).
Crucifers bear the Cross into and out of the church for the liturgy, hold the gospel book during the proclamation, and ring the sanctus bells during the Eucharistic prayer.
Lectors
Lectors read the Old Testament and New Testament scriptures during the ministry of the Word.
