Lay Eucharistic Ministers or Chalice Bearers are people who have been licensed by the diocese to administer the chalice at Communion. As the Hr. Stephen Moore points out in his book, Church Words, "The opportunities for lay liturgical ministry in the 1979 prayer book were greatly increased. This opening included the administration of the chalice at Holy Eucharist by licensed lay persons in the absence of sufficient deacons or priests' (Cf BCP, p.408)." Lay Eucharistic Ministers may assist at the liturgy by also serving as a server / acolyte and/or lector. St. John's is blessed to have over ten Lay Eucharistic Ministers who assist at the Eucharist. If you are interested in learning more about how to become a Lay Eucharistic Minister, please contact our Rector, The Rev. Darren Elin by email or call him at the parish office 793-9575.
