Worship Ministries

Worship times: 8 am. Rite I.  9:30 am. Rite II

Worship at Redeemer is joyful and reverent, rooted in Episcopal tradition and the Book of Common Prayer, and multi-generational. People of all ages participate in leading worship, in roles with a range of visibility. Please consider participating in one of the ministries below. Contact the church office (office@our-redeemer.net or 781-862-6408) for information on how to reach the coordinator for each ministry.

Acolytes: Young people in grades four and above are invited to serve at the altar as acolytes. After training, acolytes may participate by carrying the cross or the torches, and by assisting clergy at the Eucharist.

Liturgy Teams: Children, youth and their families are invited to serve at the 9:30 am Sunday service. Multi-generational teams work together for one calendar month to set up the altar, welcome, read, pray, collect and present the offerings of bread, wine and money, and serve the chalice at Holy Communion. Liturgy Teams meet at the beginning of their designated month to learn their roles prepare for the Sunday services. Families are encouraged to sign up together, and each month’s group divides the roles to suit each person’s schedule, interests, and abilities.

Altar Guild: The Altar Guild keep the linens and altar settings beautiful. Although their ministry is largely behind-the-scenes, it is integral to creating a holy feeling when we gather at God’s table. Altar Guild members work in teams, and new members join a team with experienced members.

Flowers: Flowers on the altar, and arrangements of greens during Advent and Lent, remind us of God’s goodness in creation and brighten our worship space. Flowers are often sponsored in honor or memory of a special person or event, and may be purchased through our vendor or a florist of your choice or may be gathered from your garden.

A/V Ministry: Dedicated volunteers assess audio/visual needs, maintain equipment, and record Sunday services.

Musicians: See the Music page for more information on music ministries.
