Myrhbearers

Available to young women, the ministry of Myrrhbearers seeks to develop active participation of its youngest female parishioners in the life of the Church. Beginning at seven years of age, Myrrhbearers serve the Church in special ways and hopefully continue doing so throughout their lives. The scope of the ministry includes:

• Becoming tonsured Readers of the Sunday Epistle

• Instruction in preparation of the liturgical breads and koliva (Memorial Wheat)

• Instruction in care and cleaning of liturgical items

• Instruction in preparing the Church for feast days

• Being mentors to younger Myrhbearers

• Engaging in peer pastoral care and outreach

Meeting periodically for instruction, for more information about this opportunity as well, please contact Fr Andrew, or our church office, directly.
