Phosphora Baking

   Dsa. Tanya

The Prosphora Ministry prayerfully prepares the bread used in the Divine Liturgy, offering this sacred service with care and reverence. Through this quiet but meaningful work, members help support the life of the Church and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

Holy Fire

   Sdn. Nick J.

The Holy Fire Ministry helps preserve and share the blessed Holy Fire brought from Jerusalem each Pascha. Members of this ministry keep the flame burning in their homes throughout the year and assist in relighting the church’s central vigil candle and sharing the light with others as needed.

Through this quiet and meaningful stewardship, the ministry helps maintain a living connection to the light of Christ’s Resurrection within our parish community.

Mischief of Mice

   Eccl. Katherine

The Mischief of Mice ministry, led by our Ecclesiarch, supports the care, preparation, and beauty of the church through a variety of behind-the-scenes efforts. The Ecclesiarch oversees the upkeep of the altar and liturgical items, ensuring everything is prepared with reverence and order for each service.

Working alongside her are the Handmaidens, who assist with tasks such as maintaining vestments and linens, preparing the church space, and helping with feast day and seasonal needs. Together, this ministry brings attentiveness, creativity, and devotion to the life of the parish, helping create a welcoming and prayerful environment for all.

Fellowship Hour

   Dsa. Irene L. & Alyssa M.

Fellowship Hour is a cherished time for our parish family to come together after Divine Liturgy to share food, conversation, and community. Hosted each week by parishioners, it offers a welcoming space to connect, meet new faces, and strengthen the bonds of our parish life.

This ministry is organized through a team of coordinators and group captains, with the entire parish divided into alphabetical groups to help share in the preparation and hosting. Through this shared effort, Fellowship Hour becomes a true expression of hospitality and stewardship.

Whether you’re a longtime member or visiting for the first time, all are invited to stay, enjoy light refreshments, and experience the joy of fellowship together.

Altar Service

   Dn. Ken

The Altar Service Ministry is made up of the altar servers who assist the clergy during the Divine Services, helping to ensure that worship is carried out with reverence, order, and beauty. Through their participation, servers support the flow of the services and the prayerful atmosphere of the altar.

Boys and young men of the parish are invited to serve, learning responsibility, attentiveness, and a deeper connection to the liturgical life of the Church. This ministry offers a meaningful way to grow in faith while actively serving in the worship of God.
