Sunday Acolytes and Servers

Serving God Through Worship Leadership

All Ages in Service

Each week at Holy Cross a whole group of parishioners of every age assist the clergy in worship services.

Throughout the year, there are opportunities for both youth and adult parishioners to serve in our Sunday worship services. They serve as acolytes, torch bearers, crucifers, readers, and ushers. Youth are coached and trained in their respective roles.

Youth Sunday

In addition to week by week Sunday service, one Sunday a month is dedicated as Youth Sunday, and our young people will take on most of the roles to help adorn our worship service, and fill the necessary functions that we might enter God's house together.

This special monthly celebration showcases the talents and dedication of our youth as they lead the congregation in meaningful worship.
