Refer to the schedule above for 'Other Sunday participants (readers, hosts, etc.)'.

If you cannot be in church, please find a substitute and note it on the schedule on the bulletin board or call or email Leslie.  I would like to thank all of you for arranging substitutes when you can’t serve. It makes thing much easier on Sunday mornings. Paula will still send around an email sometime midweek reminding those who are on tap for the next Sunday. If you are unable to serve please find your own replacement and either note it on the master schedule on the bulletin board in the Narthex or let me know.

Vestry Members:  You are scheduled to do the announcements. Please thank the youth who served at the altar, and any other special people for that Sunday. Invite visitors to introduce themselves or meet us at coffee hour. Invite people to make announcements and please make sure that they have a microphone – either the hand held or one of the two clergy ones.

Readers: Please check the Lectionary before the service - it should be open to the correct reading. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between what I have on the sheet and the lectionary - go with the lectionary in that case.

Prayers of the People and Psalm: I will try to remember to give you the hand-held microphone, if I don’t please seek it out . Please announce and lead the Psalm. For the Prayers there will be sometimes a form assigned (check the bulletin) and a “cheat sheet” tacked to the bulletin board. Please use that form with the additions. Please offer prayers for the people on the green bulletin insert and also invite members of the congregation to offer their own prayers, thanksgivings and intercessions.

Chalice Bearers: Please make your way to the altar during the doxology. The goal is to have you in place before the beginning of the Eucharistic prayer. You should stand at either side in order to create a semi-circle around the altar.

Host Families: Please arrive a 15 minutes early to greet people and to pass out the bulletins. Please count the congregation and put it on the slip. Please go out to the Sunday School after the Sermon to give them a five minute warning.
