LITURGYLITURGICAL ASSISTANTS

There are often misunderstandings about the nature and role of a Liturgical Assistant (LA). The

Diocesan Pastoral Handbook defines an LA, saying: ‘These persons will be authorised by the

Rector of the Parish to assist in liturgical roles only, within a specific place of worship.’ A LiturgicAssistant is not only the person who serves in the sanctuary - scripture readers, intercessors,

greeters, children’s ministry leaders and musicians may all be LAs.

LAs are authorised by the Rector for one year and given a certificate of authority. The authority

expires each year on July 1. There are currently no formally authorised LAs in our parish. We hav

been undertaking Hospitality Workshops and ChurchSafe training in order to establish basic

standards and common understandings. LAs for 2012 will be discerned and screened over the

next several months, then authorised in January 2012.

CONNECTEDNESSGIFT FOR CHERYLE MARTIN

At the end of this month, Cheryle will be concluding her work as Administrative Assistant after

many years of faithful service. Church Council has set aside some funds for a gift, and now invite

parishioners to also contribute. Please place cash or a cheque in an envelope marked ‘Cheryle gi

and place it in the collection OR speak to a Church Councillor.

CARE TEAM

Thank you to all those who offered feedback about the Pastoral Care Guidelines. The newly-configured Care Team will provide formal, organised assistance on behalf of the Worshipping

Community to people who are: a) ill, convalescing or have ongoing health concern or b) are

dealing with an emergency or crisis in their life. Would you like to be part of this team? We

anticipate that it will consist of around four-six people who meet monthly, and serve on the tea

for two years. The team will function best with a mix of age and gender. Please make contact wi

the Rector to discuss your possible involvement.
