Acolyte Ministry Description
Acolyte Ministry Description
Zion Lutheran
Church, Hopkins, MN
(Scroll
down for the schedule)
The word Acolyte means “companion” or “one who
helps.” An acolyte helps the pastor perform various tasks in the worship
service. These tasks including lighting candles, leading processions and
recessions, and helping with Holy Communion. To serve as an acolyte is a
privilege given to 7th through 9th grade youth at Zion
Church.
I. ATTITUDE. Because this ministry is a service to
God and His people, you are to show respect toward all who attend the worship
service. Sit with good posture (no slouching or legs crossed.)
Participate along with the rest of the worshipers in all that is taking place in
the service.
II. APPEARANCE. Be neatly dressed, wearing clean
clothes that will not show through your gown. Dark shoes are preferred, but are
not mandatory. No chewing gum while serving.
III. SPECIFIC DUTIES.
1.
Be present no later than 15 minutes before the service.
2.
Put on your robe when you arrive. Get the candle lighter located in the
sacristy and return to the church office robing area where you will wait for
prayers with the Pastors and Elders before the service. If there is going to be
a procession, be sure the cross or banner is in the narthex (lobby, back of
church) before the service begins.
3.
Light the candles immediately after the bell rings.
a.
Proceed to the altar carrying the lit candle lighter.
b.
Give a slight bow of respect in front of the altar.
c.
Light the candles. (altar every week, Christ candle on Communion and
Baptism weeks)
d.
Return to the front of the altar and give a slight bow of respect, then
be seated on the pew chairs in the front row on the Ambo side (on the right
as you face the front).
4.
During the hymn of preparation for the sermon, both acolytes relocate the
podium to the center of the altar area.
5.
During Communion, one acolyte will stand behind the altar to collect the
empty trays and take them to the other acolyte who is to be standing by the
piano hallway. The empty trays are to be placed in the sacristy.
6.
Extinguish the candles at the end of the service during the singing of
the closing hymn.
7.
After the service, return your candle lighter to the sacristy and hang up
your robe in the church office area closet.
8.
If you cannot serve on an assigned day, find a substitute and notify the
church office no later than Wednesday before the scheduled service so that names
can be changed in the bulletin.
