Attached are the specific schedules for December 2005 and
January 2006. The December schedule is partially
based on the “Master Schedule” that was distributed this fall but with some
additional folks added! The January 2006
schedule is based on a new Master Schedule that takes into account six new
members of the lay ministry team. We now
have enough acolytes, Eucharistic Ministers and lectors at
You will notice that
several Christmas Eve “assignments” are still in need of volunteers – so many
of us are out of town that weekend! If
you are around and are not already scheduled, please consider the available
vacancies and let Wendy and/or I know if you can serve.
I’m pleased to welcome several new members to our ranks – Samantha
and Mackenzie Scott will be starting as acolytes in December; Dick Gregory and
The schedules for February through April will be coming out
in mid-January and will include Lenten Evensong (March 12) and Holy Week
services.
And my usual reminder - you are responsible for finding a substitute when you are unable to attend on a given week. Please notify Wendy as far in advance as possible so that the Sunday Bulletin can reflect the correct names.
UPDATE ON NEW
EUCHARISTIC MINISTER ALBS
Well, we’re trying it again.
The initial set of new albs did not work out for us. So we are going with a tried-and-true
model. I expect to be ordering new albs
this coming week – hopefully they will be here by Christmas – if not, in early
2006.
REMINDER TO
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
When presenting the cup of wine to recipients, please remember two things. First, wait until the priest has given the bread to two or three other recipients before starting to present the wine – this will give the recipient the opportunity to eat the bread and prepare for the wine. Secondly, present the cup in such as way that you are bringing the cup UP to the recipient’s mouth rather than down – that way they can see what is in the cup and be better prepared to receive the wine. Thank you!
