1 Corinthians 12:4 “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.”
St. Thomas has a strong tradition of combined clergy and laity leadership—that is, leadership of all the congregation, whether or not they have been ordained. We are all called to use God's gifts, and being a Lay Assistant is one way to do that.
There are many essential ministries carried out by laity (non-ordained congregation members), including, but by no means limited to, Altar Guild, Reader/Intercessor, Server, Projection, Prayer Ministry, and many others.
