Pearson Acolyte Team:

What is an "Acolyte"?

Well according to the Webster definition, it is "one who assists a member of the clergy in a liturgical service by performing minor duties".  There is nothing MINOR about our acolyte children!!  We see our acolytes on Sunday mornings greeting the congregation at the door and bringing the light of Christ into and out of the sanctuary, but were you aware that this group of young people seem to always be involved in activities together? They have formed a sort of junior youth group and could be seen at the Ranch Hope Bowl-a-thon, riding bike in the park, walking in the Walk for All Ages for the UM Homes, etc. They recently had their first over-night trip!!  Seaside was a BLAST!!  The group is lead by Veronica Fontenelli and Joni Truch.  We currently have 14 active youth ranigng in the 3rd to 8th grade age range.  ALL Pearson youth in that age range are welcome to join - what a FUN bunch!!

Acolyte Schedule 

Please click on the link above for the 2010 current schedule.  Each child will be responsible for lighting the candles in church as well as greeting on their assigned Sunday - thank you for all your support!!  THESE KIDS ARE GREAT!

All Pearson children are welcome to join, grades 3-8.

MONTHLY Meetings scheduled the first SUNDAY of each month immediately following the services.
