Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is a one-on-one lay caring ministry, taking place in congregations that use the Stephen Series system. Stephen Ministry congregations equip and empower lay caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. For more information and to connect with a Stephen Minister in our parish, please contact Karen Coriden at kbcoriden@yahoo.com.
Bread Bakers
Prior to the COVID pandemic, there were parishioners who loved to bake, providing us with our weekly communion bread. Formally known as the St. Nicholas Guild, our bakers used a recipe that has been in our parish for many years, giving a tremendous feeling of continuity to this ministry. There is a plan currently in discussion to bring this ministry back. Stay tuned for more information!
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild prepares the altar for our Sunday Eucharist. For more information or to join the Altar Guild, contact Shelley Black at shelleyfblack@gmail.com.
Flower Team
Flower Team members arrange the flowers for the altar each Sunday. The team is made up of parishioners who love flowers and want to share that love with God and the parish family. No experience in flower arranging is necessary—beginners are paired with the more experienced. We have a lot of fun and are always looking for new faces and ideas! If you are interested in joining the Flower Team, please contact Nancy Rohrer at nancysingjoy@gmail.com.
Lay Eucharistic Visitors
For those who are unable to attend regular services, the sacrament of Holy Communion is always available. Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEVs) are parishioners who are specially trained to bring communion to those in need. Any pastoral needs and prayer requests of the recipients are brought back to the community. This is an important way that our parish community stays in touch. When sacraments are needed on an emergency basis, please contact Father George at 303-862-0848.
If you would like to be visited by Lay Eucharistic Visitors or are interested in becoming one, contact the office at office@church-transfig.net.
