Worship and Prayer
< Back to Ministries
Contact Worship Chair Laurie Rappa to learn more. The Worship and Prayer ministry includes:
Worship Assistants
Participate in key roles to make worship meaningful. Roles include assisting ministers, deacons (readers), nursery attendants, ushers/greeters, communion set-up, communion servers, and offering counters. Training for these tasks is held yearly.
Choir
Variety is the key to choral music at Lake Park. During the year we sing everything from Bach chorals to calypso and classic choral anthems to gospel.
The choir rehearses in the balcony at 7:15 p.m. each Wednesday from September through May. The choir sings in worship approximately every other week and warms up in the balcony at 9:15 those Sunday mornings.
Can’t commit to an entire year? Join us in early November for our Advent concert in December or in the spring for Holy Week and Easter.
Special Music
Do you sing or play an instrument? Share your talents with the congregation on Sunday mornings. To participate talk with Laurie Rappa, Chris Hanson or Pastor David.
Worship Team
Plans worship liturgies, decorates the worship space for the season and selects music. Meets monthly.
Altar Guild
“The overall goal of the altar guild is to see that the worship space is kept beautiful and in good order, both to glorify God and to provide setting that helps enable the congregation to worship in a meaningful way.” S. Anita Stauffer, Altar Guild and Sacristy Handbook
Responsibilities include:
• Set up for Holy Communion before each service
• Set up for baptisms
• Care for linens, vestments, paraments, and other items used in worship
• Coordinate the decorations of the worship space
Do you enjoy the satisfaction that comes from preparing a beautiful setting for company? Do you enjoy interior decorating? Do you have any extra elbow grease? If so, come join us on Altar Committee. No regular monthly meetings… but plenty of spring cleaning!
