Crucifers and Chalice Bearers
Serving at the Altar/Communion Table offers volunteers the opportunity to actively participate in the communion process with the congregation.
Serving as an assistant to the priest, the Crucifer carries in the cross at the beginning of the service, carries the Bible to the center aisle during the reading, and aids in the preparation of communion.
During communion, the Chalice Bearer offers the Cup of Salvation (wine) after the priest has offered the Body of Christ (bread) to those taking communion.
