ministries. We thank God for each member of the parish who contributes his
or her time and energy in doing the Lord's work, and are constantly inviting
others to become involved so they, too, can know the joy of God's blessings that
are waiting for them. We are thankful for our acolytes (including crucifers) who assist at the altar on Sunday mornings and at special services.
