Liturgical Ministries

Ministries are the lifelines of our community. Clergy and parishioners alike enrich their daily lives through ministry with others. At St. Andrew’s our members volunteer their time and talents in many of these ministries.

Liturgical Ministries are directly related to worship service and in some cases are the first points of contact for visitors and guests to the parish.

They include:

     • Eucharistic Homebound and Hospital Ministers
     • Music Ministers
     • Altar Family Servers
     • Greeters & Ushers
     • CLOW (Children’s Liturgy of the Word)
     • Extended Liturgy (Social)
