A Collect for Acolytes

Omnipotent God, you are the source of all that is good.
As we come to serve you in reverence and joy, we ask you to be with us,
that we may praise your name and show forth your love in this your holy dwelling,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

27th Annual National Acolyte Festival, October 7, 2006

A Word From Our Bishop
The Rt. Rev. John W. Howe
Bishop of Central Florida

   All Saints’ Acolyte School will be a blessing to the Diocese, All Saints’, and especially to the youth and parents who participate in it. I will look forward to seeing the All Saints’ acolytes, the School Masters, and the parents at the annual gathering of the acolytes of the Diocese at St. Luke’s Cathedral in Orlando. That is normally supplemented by a wonderful day of youth fellowship at Wet n’ Wild.
   Being an Episcopal acolyte is an opportunity for youth to participate in worship. It is also a place where leadership and knowledge can be developed that will aid a child throughout their life. In addition, being an acolyte allows a child to spiritually develop and this will bring strength and stability throughout life. Therefore, the ministry of the acolyte is one of the best opportunities in an Episcopal church for youth.
   You might want to be careful, though. I started out as an acolyte, and look what happened to me!

A Word From Our Rector
The Rev. Dr. Al W. Jenkins
All Saints’ Episcopal Church

   All Saints’ Acolyte School is a ministry to the youth of the church. The youth of the school are educated in the meaning, art, and craft of the worship of God. In addition, they are trained in the historical traditions of the practice and spirituality of worship.
   Our acolytes are selected from mature youth of the parish whose parents excel in the spiritual care of their children and who exhibit excellence in their relationship with Christ.
   Not only is great care extended to the youth chosen for this ministry, but they form a wonderful peerage, which allows them to enjoy outings, graduations to levels of competence, and a pilgrimage to the Washington National Cathedral. Here they meet acolytes from all over the country and from throughout the world.
