Groups & Activities

Choir

Do you love to sing? Our choir provides musical leadership at the 10:30am Sunday service, with rehearsals every Sunday morning at 9:00am, September through June. If you would like to arrange an audition, our Music Director would be delighted to hear from you.

Cantors

Cantors lead the congregation in the sung psalm, responses and service music, offering a single clear voice to help the whole assembly find its own. It is a lovely way to share the gift of music without committing to weekly choir rehearsals.

Some ability to read music is helpful, and our Music Director is always glad to offer coaching to anyone who feels drawn to this ministry.

Lay Readers, Lectors & Intercessors

These specially trained and licensed volunteers assist in leading our worship — reading scripture, leading the prayers of the people, and helping guide the congregation through the service. Training and support are provided.

Eucharistic Assistants & Chalice Bearers

Licensed lay ministers who assist the clergy in administering the Chalice during Communion, serving alongside our Lay Readers. If you feel called to serve in this way, please speak with the clergy or the Parish Office.

Altar Guild

Also known in some parishes as the Chancel Guild, the Altar Guild is a dedicated group of volunteers who care for our beautiful worship space and prepare the altar for services — linens, vessels, candles and flowers. If you have an eye for detail and a love of sacred spaces, we would love to have you join us.

Greeters

Our greeters are the first friendly face on a Sunday morning, offering a warm hello at the door, handing out bulletins and helping visitors find their way around.

For many newcomers, the welcome they receive at the door is what brings them back the following week. If you have a warm smile and enjoy meeting people, this is a wonderful place to start.

Sidespeople

Sidespeople look after the practical side of our worship — helping people find a seat, receiving and presenting the offering, assisting with the count afterwards, and quietly lending a hand to anyone who needs it during the service.

No experience is necessary. New sidespeople are always paired with someone experienced until they feel at home in the role.

Coffee Hour Hosts

Coffee hour is where much of our parish conversation happens. Our hosts set out the coffee, tea and treats after the Sunday service, keep the kettle going, and tidy up at the end.

Hosts work in small teams on a rotation, so the commitment is usually only once every few weeks — and it is one of the friendliest jobs in the parish.

Fellowship

Our Fellowship team organises social gatherings through the year — meals, events and other chances to simply enjoy one another’s company. Community is at the heart of who we are, and all are welcome.

Women’s Bible Study

Our Women’s Bible Study meets every Monday at 12:00 noon — bring your lunch and enjoy a time of fellowship and thoughtful discussion. Newcomers are always welcome, whatever your familiarity with scripture.

We also host special teaching events through the year; watch our announcements page for upcoming dates.

Confidential Prayer Ministry

Our Prayer Ministry is made up of caring and compassionate people who consider it a great joy and privilege to pray for others. Requests are always kept strictly confidential.

To join the team, or to request prayer for yourself or someone you love, please contact Ruth Corston.

Outreach Team

The Outreach Team educates and equips the parish to care for our neighbours — locally, nationally and internationally. From downtown Sudbury social services to the Primate’s World Relief & Development Fund, there are many meaningful ways to make a difference.

Maintenance

Our maintenance volunteers look after the building and grounds that make every other ministry possible — small repairs, seasonal clean-ups, shovelling and snow clearing, gardening, and keeping things in good working order.

Practical skills are very welcome, but so is a willing pair of hands. Most jobs are learned as you go, and many are done together as a team over a morning’s work.
