Acolytes
Acolytes serve in the Holy Altar at all church services. Men and boys are welcome to serve as acolytes serve year-round as they are able. For more information or to register, please contact Father Vasileios.
Agape Choir
The Agape Choir is Transfiguration’s children’s choir, serving at two services during Holy Week. They sing the full Divine Liturgy on Lazarus Saturday and Holy Saturday, the joyful Proto-Anastasi (First Resurrection) service. The Agape Choir is open to everyone under 18 years of age. There is no need to register. Children should simply show up for rehearsals to join.
For more information and to be added to the list, please contact Diana Angelo.
Chanters
Transfiguration’s impressive group of singers chant for all of our church services, including Sunday liturgies and feast day services, Vespers, Paraklesis, baptisms and weddings, etc. To register, please contact Sue Holland.
Prosphora Ministry
Our team of prosphora bakers strives to provide fresh prosphora (the special loaf of bread baked for Holy Communion, stamped with a special seal and always containing just flour, salt, yeast and water) for every Divine Liturgy served at Transfiguration. Each month, a list of dates is emailed to the group, and bakers may choose one or more Divine Liturgies. The prosphora is baked at home, and delivered to the church in time for Divine Liturgy. Naturally, bakers need not bake every month, but may simply bake as they are able.
Classes in prosphora baking are offered occasionally, so if you are interested be sure to contact the Prosphora Ministry to see if one is scheduled. There is also an instructional video on the Transfiguration website on how to make the Prosphora.
To be added to the list of prosphora bakers, please contact Diana Angelo.
Transfiguration’s Adult Choir
While our chanters sing most of our services, the adult choir sings during Holy Communion and sings full Divine Liturgies on certain Sunday mornings and the Divine Liturgy on Lazarus Saturday and Holy Saturday morning. Adults and children in middle school and older are welcome to participate in the adult choir.
Schedule: The choir practices in Mt. Tabor Hall from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm on the Saturday before they sing the Divine Liturgy. Occasionally, a special rehearsal will be added to the calendar.
For more information, please contact Diana Angelo.
Ushers
The Ushers greet people as they enter the church and offer various brochures, documents and a guest book in order to make our parish accessible and open to visitors and inquirers. Serving at Sunday Divine Liturgies and other large services and events, they keep order and assist anyone with concerns or difficulties during the service.
If you would like to join the Welcoming Committee, please contact Allen Wynn or join our list on Realm.
Youth Epistle Readers
Our young people in middle school, high school and college are invited to read the Epistle during Divine Liturgy, on Sundays and at special Feast Day Liturgies. This offers our youth a tangible opportunity to serve and to feel a part of the services, and to practice their public presentation skills.
