St. Andrew & St. Charles has many opportunities for volunteering, both within the church and within the community. Below are some of the activities for which volunteers are always welcome.
Acolytes
Acolytes assist the clergy with weekly Holy Eucharist and special liturgies. Training is provided and no previous experience is necessary. You must be at least 10 years old to participate in this activity. For more info please contact: Rand Nelson 818-366-7541
Altar Guild
Preparation of the high altar, laundering of linens, polishing of brass and silver, and care of vestments are all under the direction of Adele Krohmer and the Altar Guild.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club also helps prepare special meals throughout the year, such as our annual BBQ and visits from local Bishops.
Choir
All singers who wish to share their talent are welcome to join the St. Andrew & St. Charles Choir. Under Choirmaster John H. Scott, the choir offers a variety of classical and modern anthems, and leads the congregation in hymns drawn primarily from Hymnal 1982 and Wonder, Love and Praise. The choir is accompanied by award-winning composer, pianist, and organist Dr. Rosalind Wong. https://www.rosalindmusic.studio/
There are also opportunities for instrumentalists to play, either with the choir or as an independent offering. If this sounds like the ministry for you, please speak to John Scott, Rosalind Wong, or any choir member.
