Have a rising 4th or 5th grader for the 2026-27 school year?

All (rising) 4th-5th graders who would like to participate in our dynamic acolyte and crucifer program this year should attend our training on Wednesday, August 19 immediately following dinner in the Sanctuary. Our 4th graders will be trained to become acolytes, and our 5th graders will be trained to become crucifers. 

Being an acolyte or a crucifer is such a vital part of our worship service, as you bring in the light of Christ and symbol of the cross to begin our time of worship. We are excited to begin a new year with new leaders! Please sign up through your Realm account to indicate that you will be able to attend this training, which is necessary before serving in this program. Questions or need help registering?
