ALTAR GUILD - A group of dedicated women (men welcome too!) who lovingly care for the sacred vessels and linens, and prepare the altar for each liturgy. Anyone who would like to become part of this important ministry should contact Mrs. Patricia Ferguson, President of the Guild. MEN'S GUILD - The Men's Guild is an organization of men and boys devoted to service, prayer, study, and fellowship. In their unofficial capacity, the men are "jacks of all trades", ready to assist parish life whenever needed. Weaver Jones is the new President replacing James Garrett who stepped down after 12 years of devoted service. ST. MARTHA'S GUILD - A group of mothers who have sponsored fund raising activities for the parish over the last 35 + years. Mrs. Carolyn Gillette is the President. ST. CECILIA CHOIR - The
choir, its safe to say is a major artery of parish life! Made up of both
trained and untrained voices, the choir EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS & ACOLYTES - The Lay Eucharistic Ministers/Lay readers are especially trained and licensed by the bishop to read the scripture lessons, to help administer Holy Communion at the Eucharist, and to take the Sacraments to the sick and homebound. Acolytes, ages eight and above, serve at the altar in various capacities, from carrying torches to swinging incense. Anyone interested in these liturgical ministries should contact Mr. Charley Bilberry who is the Warden of Lay Readers. EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN (ECW) - All women of the parish are automatically members of the Episcopal Church Women-commonly called the ECW. Fellowship, service to the church and to the community are hallmarks of the ECW. Mrs. Lillie Bilberry is the President. USHERS - Since the first people visitors meet upon entering the church are the ushers, they are the ones who make the first impression on newcomers to the parish. Far more than just handing out bulletins, announcements etc., it is a golden opportunity to demonstrate that we indeed are a parish family they can easily embrace and feel at home. YOUTH GROUP - All boys and girls ages 12 and up are welcome to participate in our newly reunited Youth Group. Friends of young parishioners are also welcome to attend. BIBLE STUDY GROUP - A group of dedicated parishioners who gather every Sunday morning between the hours of 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. Discussions focus on biblical scripture as it should be applied to our daily lives and subsequent interaction with others.
