ACW - Anglican Church Women

The 'Anglican Church Women' provides our women with opportunities for work and fellowship. They host several sales during the year which includes a meal, 'a bake table' and 'a craft table.' The women enjoy times of fellowship working together on various projects.

St. John's ACW meet every Wednesday at 10 am at St. John's Hall

Altar Guild - Prepare the Altar for Holy Communion

Altar in St. Matthew's Church

The Altar Guild cares for and prepares the Altar for Holy Communion. Their work includes changing the cloths, cleaning the sacred vessels and keeping the sanctuary in good order.

Bible Study

On Monday mornings we have a Bible Study group meeting in the Rectory on Water Street at 10:30 a.m.

Choir

Leading the congregation in singing is a commendable task and we welcome people of all ages who have an interest in singing with our choirs.

C.L.B.

There are more than ten leaders in this organization that includes boys and girls. We meet weekly to do drill, badge work and sports.

Eucharistic Ministers

Our diocese licenses persons to assist the priest administer at the service of Holy Communion.

Greeters

This valuable ministry of welcoming those who come to church on Sunday also provides opportunity to exchange information and present a service-book, bulletin, etc.

Helping Hand

This is our clothing and food bank that we manage in partnership with many other churches in our area. We are one of the founding partners and one of its biggest supporters. Volunteers help the manager in the store where we sell second hand clothes and offer grocery hampers to those in need. This building is located on Patterson Street in Bay Roberts.

Layreaders

The bishop licenses these persons to 'read' the offices publicly under the direction of the priest. They usually do so when the priest is out of the parish.

Little Helpers

We have a person in each congregation who helps host a party for young people, under five years of age, once a year. They also send each child a birthday greeting for five years.

Prayer Chain

Several years ago we established a 'prayer chain'. We believe that intercession is a very important ministry that we offer for each other especially those in need. The links of this chain offer intercessions for those in need everyday.

Readers

Many of our parishioners read the appointed lessons each Sunday.

Servers' Guild

We have servers at all our services. These young people enjoy assisting at the altar and provide a very valuable service to the priest.

Sides Persons

These people are often greeters and double as stewards to receive the collection at each service.

Sunday Schools

We encourage your families to enroll their children in our Sunday School Programme.

St. Matthew's meets at the church. 11am every week.

St. John's meets at the chuch when there is a service at 11am. When there is not 11am service, they meet at the Hall at 2 pm
