Board of Elders

The Board of Elders is responsible for the spiritual well being of the members of the congregation. As trained Eucharistic Ministers, they also assist the Pastoral staff in distributing communion. Each Elder is responsible for members with a geographical zone. The Elders also direct the activities of the Altar Guild, the Ushers, the Greeters and the Decorating Committee.

 

Altar Guild members maintain the Baptismal and Communion supplies. They support Baptisms and Communion with the preparation of the water, bread and wine as well as the maintenance of the alter table cloths and the cleaning of the altar area. Members of the Altar Guild are provided with a knowledge of the Holy Sacraments. Women who are interested and are willing to be trained are welcome in the Altar Guild.
 
Ushers are members who volunteer to serve as Ushers on a monthly basis. No formal training is required. All are encouraged to serve as Ushers.
 
Greeters, like the Ushers, are volunteers who serve to welcome our visitors a month at a time. No formal training is required. All are encouraged to volunteer as Greeters.
 
Lectors are members who volunteer to read the Scriptures during the worship services. All who enjoy reading publicly are  invited to volunteer.
 
Ambassadors are volunteers that greet visitors as they exit the sanctuary to offer information about the church and invite the visitors to join in refreshments after the worship service. All are welcome to become Risen Savior Ambassadors.
 
Audio Visual Technicians are responsible for the audio video aspects of the worship services. They control the sound, lighting, cameras and video recording during the worship services. People with an interest in learning, or experience operating audio visual equipment and systems are welcome as Audio Visual Technicians.
