Melissa Hollifield, Coordinator of Acolyte Ministries, invites those entering 4th Grade or already older to join Trinity's Acolyte Team. When you respond, she will be contact you to arrange a time with you and your mom or dad for some one-on-one training. 
    We're also counting on our veteran acolytes to be back following our summer break. In September Jennifer will have a quick refresher review for our returning acolytes — one Sunday after church, Pizza Lunch followed by training review. And then later in the month there will be a Sunday when our Acolyte Corp will be recognized in the service.  New acolytes will be presented their Acolyte Cross; veteran acolytes will be given their new cord.  Each year of service earns a new cord:
        Year 1 - Black
        Year 2 - Brown
        Year 3 - White
        Year 4 - Silver
        Year 5 & beyond - GOLD
        Then, some day, after you've reached the Gold level, when you retire you will be presented the wooden
        cross you've worn each Sunday you've served through the years; it will become a treasured keepsake of
        your years of youthful ministry in Trinity's worship.
    Also, Acolytes, a helpful new feature is available this year with the debut of our renewed website: on the monthly calendar, you may click the Sunday date and get a reminder of who is serving that Sunday.
    Right now, new acolytes, click here to send Melissa a message that you're ready to begin serving!
