Hello
Family,
This is a reminder that Saturday, September 28, 2013 @ 5:30 PM, we will be gathering in St. John’s Church for Acolyte Training.
This is a reminder that Saturday, September 28, 2013 @ 5:30 PM, we will be gathering in St. John’s Church for Acolyte Training.
The Corp of Acolytes is for youth in 6th through 12th
grade.
This week’s Acolyte training
is for those who would like a refresher on how to serve at St. John’s, or for
those wishing to join St. John’s Corp of Acolytes.
When you arrive at 5:30 P, I ask that if you are an Acolyte
wishing to be refreshed, or a soon-to-be Acolyte, that you gather in the choir
pews near the altar (near the sanctuary).
We will begin as promptly as possible.
I will also do my best to make Acolyte Training quick and painless.
Below, I have attached a link with our Acolyte
Customary. Please, go over it before the
Acolyte Training to accustom yourself to where things are in the packet. I would recommend looking it over with your
parents. It does look overwhelming at
first, but I promise that being an Acolyte, though it is a duty, can be
enjoyable. There will not be a test
during the Acolyte Training, and if you forget something – we must remember to
be a part of liturgy you must have a thespian’s heart. The liturgy must continue, and God will be
praised!
When we arrive:
-
We will acquaint ourselves with the church.
-
We will then briefly go over the Acolyte Customary, and our duties.
-
We will then find out our size and try on robes and rope belts (albs
& cinctures).
-
We will then act out our parts in the liturgy.
I am grateful for your ministry!
Chad.
