Ministry
Groups
The people of
God express a commitment to Christ through practical Stewardship. Each member
is encouraged to become a steward of the parish. A number of ministries
now actively function while the Lord guides us into new forms of service.
Parish
Council
Together with the Parish Rector, the elected members meet monthly to plan and apply the decisions of
the parish in community, charity, and financial matters. Parish
Cemetery The Trustee-Chairman, Parish Warden and Vice Warden together with the Parish Rector shall constitute the Board of Trustees and administrators
of the Holy Trinity
Orthodox Cemetery.
Choir
Our choir participates in all services. We welcome new voices. Music is
selected from various liturgical backgrounds under the direction of Juliana
Koles and Jason Ferrandino. Readers
Readers build up the faithful by reading the Holy Scriptures and appointed
prayers during worship. See Choir Director Juliana Koles if you are interested
in being a church reader. Altar
Servers Our services are blessed with the
involvement of those who assist the priest before and during all services.
Men and boys participate as candle bearers. Also, young ladies assist with the
bread and wine after communion. Prosphora Bakers The preparation of prosphora is an essential ministry in any Orthodox parish. It is a great blessing to bake the bread that will be offered as the body of Christ. Ellen Santoro and Jillian Wanik have taken on this responsibility. Any faithful member can be added to this group of stewards. Please see Fr. David is you can help. Greeters
Greeters welcome both visitors and the faithful into worship and for
fellowship. Parishioners are encouraged
to participate by adding their name to the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.
Cleaners (Facility Stewardship)
Each family is called upon to help clean, maintain, and add to the beauty of
the church and fellowship hall. Parishioners are encouraged to
participate by adding their name to the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.
Fellowship - Coffee Hour Immediately
following Sunday Liturgies, has become a time of true fellowship for all
members of the parish as well as guests who regularly join us. Phyllis &
