  • Acolyte — Serve on a team as a torch bearer, crucifer or book bearer at our Sunday morning worship services or for Wednesday Morning Prayer.
  • Altar Care — Serve on a team that shares the distinct honor of preparing the worship space for the service of Holy Communion.

  • Reader — On Sunday mornings, you could read one of the scripture readings for our worship service.
  • Sunday Morning Hospitality — Be one of the people offering hospitality at Sunday morning worship.

CHAPEL OF THE RESURRECTION COMMUNION BREAD RECIPE - AMENDED by Aileen Wetzstein

1 1/2  cups whole wheat flour
1/2     cup white flour
1   tsp baking soda
  Tbs oil
1/2    tsp salt
1/2   cup warm water
1/4  cup of honey

Mix dry ingredients well and set aside.   Dissolve the honey in the warm water, add the oil, then the dry ingredients and mix well.  Knead, but don't overdo it (it doesn't take much)
Divide into 2 balls and cover with a tea towel.  Let rest for 10 minutes.  Now flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or rolling pin to approx 1/4 in.  (It will be quite springy, do the best you can)
With a very sharp knife cut a cross on the top of each flattened 'loaf' and bake in an oven that has been preheated to 325 F for 15 minutes.

You can add another 5 minutes to the baking time which will make it 20 minutes.  One doesn't want it too dark hence the oven temp at 325.
