Altar Guild
The Altar Guild prayerfully sets the table for the celebration of communion. They also contribute to making the front of the church look its best. The group cleans the linens and polishes the brass as well as changes the altar décor based on celebrations or seasons. One parishioner was shocked to see the brass was almost 110 years old, “It’s amazing! They make it look brand new!”
Prayer Group
The prayer group is a team of parishioners who lead the "prayers of the people" every Sunday during mass. Prayers are often written by individual members of the group or excerpts are chosen from prayer books. Prayers are always current and relevant.
Wardens
Wardens work closely with the reverend to carry out the mission of the Christian community within the church. They also sit on Parish Council.

Greeters
Greeters have a very important job. They are the first faces people see when they walk into Holy Trinity, welcoming everyone as they step into the church.
