Worship Assistants
Whether you enjoy being front and center during worship or like to work behind the scenes, there are more than 11 areas of service that you can get involved in during worship at LCHope. Acolytes, crucifers, communion assistants, lectors, ushers, prayer ministers and greeters all help out during the service, when all the action is taking place. A/V ministers, sacristans, and the nave cleaning team all help prepare for the service and keep it running smoothly.
