Some of us assist during worship services as acolytes, lectors, eucharistic ministers, ushers, greeters, and altar guild. Some of us sing in the choir or play music during worship services. Some of us host the coffee hour after services, and others organize skating parties, ski trips, picnics, and special dinners.
