Worship Committee
The Worship Committee meets monthly to explore ways to involve
parishioners in liturgy, to study aspects of liturgical celebration,
to increase understanding of how to make liturgy meaningful,
and to critique and improve all liturgical celebrations. Subcommittees
plan specific seasonal celebrations with a special emphasis on
the Triduum.
The Committee strives to enliven parish worship and encourage greater participation by various means, including offering communion under both species, singing "The Our Father," involving families as greeters and procession leaders, instituting the "Homily Book" to give feedback to presiders, and conducting workshops for lectors and cantors.
The Committee helps coordinate the efforts of numerous groups such as the Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, choirs, church decoration/flower arrangers, greeters, ushers, and procession leaders. They encourage a variety of prayer experiences in addition to Mass, including Lenten Evening of Prayer, Advent Retreat, and Parish Missions. They work with the Community United Methodist Church to plan special combined services on Palm Sunday and Pentecost.
What the Catechism Says:
"Jesus's
words and actions during his hidden life and public ministry
were already salvific, for they anticipated the power of his
Paschal mystery. They announced and prepared what he was going
to give the Church when all was accomplished. The mysteries of
Christ's life are the foundations of what he would henceforth
dispense in the sacraments, through the ministers of his Church,
for 'what was visible in our Savior has passed over into his
mysteries'" (#1115).
