When different members of the the congregation welcome us, read the scriptures, offer the prayers, distribute the bread and wine, prepare communion, lead the music, worship takes on a sense of deeper ownership on the part of the congregation.<\/p>\n<p>We are inviting you to thoughtfully prayer how you can become involved or how what you are already doing is not just a \u201cjob.\u201d It is truly a sacred ministry for you at Saint Michael.<\/p>\n<p>In the next weeks we will be inviting you to take a bit of time to explore these ministries of worship. Be looking for a sheet in the bulletin that invites you to find out more. As all things that are worth it, it will take a little time and effort on all our part. Here are areas that we would like you to be thinking about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assistant Minister<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communion Assistant<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lector<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Altar Guild<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worship Committee<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adult &amp; Children&#8217;s Choirs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bell Choirs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solo or group musician<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brass players<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting the sanctuary<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Don Engdahl and his wife Trill joined Saint Michael, he shared this impression: \u201cEveryone seems willing to serve&#8230;if there is a void during service or otherwise, people stand up to help.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would be blessed if you could join us in taking part in one of these leadership and group opportunities!
