ACOLYTE MINISTRY
Led by: Sybil Mundy
The word acolyte is derived from the Greek word akolouthos, meaning companion, attendant, or helper. The Acolyte ministry has its roots in the Old Testament where Samuel, who would later be a prophet, is seen assisting Eli the Levite priest.
An acolyte is an important part of worship at Christ Church Westshore. The acolyte duties include carrying the processional cross, lighting candles, processing with candles or “torches,” assisting the priests in preparation of the Lord’s Table for Holy Communion, and and assisting in a smoothly flowing worship service. Being an acolyte is an important ministry where we help serve the people of God.
