All Christian people are called to serve God. Servers are servants of God in a very special way as they assist in the serving of the Holy Eucharist, the family meal of the people of God. They present the offerings of the people to the priest. These include the money collected at the offertory and , of course, the bread and wine which will be used in the Eucharist. The priest receives them and offers them up to God.

To be a server, to assist the priest at the Holy Eucharist, is a very special privilege, and one which should be taken seriously. It is important that the duties performed in the sanctuary are done with reverence. This does not mean that one must look unduly solemn at all times. Smiles are not out of place at the Lord's Table, however it is important to remember that we are in a holy place, and handling holy things.

"We have a wonderful group of young acolytes at St. Martin's and we would like to add to their numbers since they are now serving at both the 9:00 a.m. and the 10:30 services."

St. Martin's, Bay Ridges, a small friendly parish, exists "to worship God, to minister to the needs of the
community and help all people grow in faith and fellowship as a family of believers". All baptised Christians
are invited to receive both the bread and the wine at Holy Communion, or you may come forward for a
blessing, indicated by crossing your arms. If you are visiting with us, or here for the first time,
please sign our guest book. We hope that you will feel at home at St. Martin's as we worship. Go in peace
with God's Blessing and come again to God's house.
