Worship Ministries

The word “liturgy,” which we also use to refer to our worship service, means “work of the people,” and our services quite literally require the work of many people each week. Serving in a worship service either up front or behind the scenes can bring new meaning and perspective to our personal worship experience, and there are a variety of ways to take part.

Acolytes – serve as torch bearers and crucifer during worship services for those Grade 4 and above. Those interested in learning about becoming an acolyte should contact the Rev. Liz Tichenor or Jeremy Carlson.

Altar Guild – prepares and cares for the altar and its linens, vestments and vessels. Contact: Lori Vella

Altar Flowers – You are encouraged to sponsor altar flowers during the year. Your check plus a copy of the request form should be submitted to the church office at least one week in advance.

ALTAR FLOWER REQUEST FORM

A/V Livestream Team — set up the sound system and video cameras for the 10:15 service, and manage the sound and video for the livestream. Contact: Ken Carlson or Rob Evans

Bread Making – Bread bakers prepare the bread used for Sunday Communion. Contact: Lori Vella.

  • COMMUNION BREAD - ORIGINAL RECIPE
  • COMMUNION BREAD - HONEY RECIPE

Choir & Musicians — lead the congregation in song at the 10:15 service. The choir practices on Thursday evenings, September – June, and often musicians join in on other instruments on Sunday morning as well. Interested in adding your voice or music? Contact Dan Damon.

Coffee Hour Hosts – Hosted by parishioners and ministry teams, coffee hours after the 8:00 and 10:15 services provide a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some refreshments, catch up with old friends and make new ones. Hosting coffee hour is also a wonderful and easy way to get to know new people and to ensure the extension of hospitality to visitors and newcomers. Complete instructions for hosting are provided. Sign up at church, or by emailing Whitney Wilson.

Eucharistic Ministers (Chalice Bearers) – assist in serving the chalice during communion and receive training and license from the Diocese of California. For more information contact the clergy.

Eucharistic Visitors – take communion from the Sunday service to those who are unable to attend church. Eucharistic Visitors are trained and licensed by the Diocese of California. For more information contact the clergy.

Greeters – ensure that visitors, newcomers and regular members at Church of the Resurrection experience Christ’s hospitality and welcome by greeting at each service and providing information and follow-up to those who wish it. Contact: Whitney Wilson

Lectors – (also known as readers) read the Scripture lessons during worship. Those interested in becoming a lector should contact the clergy.

Ushers – assist parishioners by seating them for worship, distributing bulletins, collecting the offering and directing the congregation in coming forward to receive Communion. Contact: Hugo Llamas.

Whatever your age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, social or economic circumstance, or religious background, you are welcome in our worshipping community and at the Lord’s Table.

Our community is made up of people of all ages, religious backgrounds, political positions, family configurations, ethnicities and church experience. We share a love of and connection to God and each other, a sense of meaning and belonging, a yearning to grow in our faith, and a desire to serve Christ by reaching out to others in the community. We also have a lot of fun together.

Leadership


Worship is at the heart of our life together, and Episcopal worship is rich in symbolism and tradition. At the same time, it is a contemporary expression of our belief and faith in a Living God who is present and accessible in material and ordinary things.

Worship Covid Protocols

The Episcopal Church has a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church, and some of the first transgender priests in the Episcopal Church serve here in in the Diocese of California. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. We are delighted to offer the sacrament of marriage (and all other sacraments) to all couples, no matter their genders. We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
