Members helping members
All Saints members are encouraged to show Christ's love to those who need help with household projects in every season. For jobs from spring cleaning to lawn mowing to leaf raking and snow removal, along with many other tasks that make a house more homey inside and out, volunteers are needed. Contact All Saints to volunteer or to request assistance.
Hospitality Team
A warm cup of coffee, a smile and a cheery "Good Morning" help make Sundays friendly and welcoming to all. If you'd like to help create that kind of atmosphere at All Saints, you are invited to join the hospitality team.
The duties are familiar: Make coffee, be sure pots are filled and cups, napkins and condiments are available between 10:30 and 11 a.m. in the Gathering Area. Then bring your best smile and warm greetings to all who gather.
Each team member would serve once every month or two. Intrigued? Contact All Saints at aslc@saintsonhigh.org.
Got Passion?
A few questions for you: Do you love to act? Love to create art in various mediums? Are you a poet? Do you have a keen eye for decor? Do you have the gift of praying? Do you want to learn about working the sound board? If you've said yes to any of those questions, we could use you for The Gathering, our contemporary expression of worship. We've got various teams who work together to make our worship honest and rooted in the life of our community. Important note: Serving on one of these teams does not mean you need to stop attending one of our traditional worship services. On the contrary, as a community of Christ, we serve one another. For more information and/or to be involved, contact Pastor Mike at mikew@saintsonhigh.org.
Deacons
Deacons help in the distribution of the sacrament Holy Communion -- often called the Lord's Supper or the Eucharist. These volunteers serve those who come to receive the real presence of Christ through bread and wine.
For more information, e-mail All Saints.
Greeters
These important volunteers carry out the practice and tradition of Christian hospitality by welcoming people as they arrive at worship. Friendly faces to regular attendees, greeters serve a crucial role in making visitors feel welcome by guiding them to the guest book and name tags or providing assistance in finding the nursery or coat closets.
For more information, e-mail All Saints.
Lay readers
All Saints lay readers share the words of Scripture – usually one reading from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament – with the congregation during traditional worship services. Usually, readers are called to serve at two or three services during the year.
For more information, e-mail All Saints.
Musicians
Martin Luther considered music to be one of the most important ways to build faith and discipleship. Click here for the opportunities to share your musical talent with the congregation and the wider community.
All Saints nursery provides care for children during all Sunday morning worship services. Volunteers are vital to caring for the littlest of God's flock, and are always needed. A special need for volunteers arises on Christmas Eve, when our professional nursery leader gets a well-deserved break.
For more information, e-mail All Saints.
Sacristans
These volunteers oversee the activities of the acolyte and crucifer, making sure they have matches, robes and other needed supplies. In addition, if an acolyte or a crucifer is missing, these volunteers find substitutes within the congregation. After service is completed, sacristans make sure robes and equipment are returned to their proper places and review the need for any repairs or replacements. Sacristans are asked to serve an average of two weeks per month for no more than 30 minutes per week.
For more information, e-mail All Saints.
Ushers
These volunteers display Christian hospitality by making worshippers feel welcome at All Saints. Ushers distribute the bulletins that allow regular attendees and newcomers to follow the worship service, direct people to open seats within the Sanctuary or Parish Hall and invite people forward to commune. In addition, ushers collect the offering and present it to the presiding pastor for blessing.
