St. Sebastian's Parish Organizations

Our parish has many different organizations that both support and sponsor a myriad of activities in our Parish. Some of them are shown below and we have groups within our Parish which concern themselves with almost anything you may find of interest.
 

Our Church Vestry

 This very dedicated group of people are the nine members of the parish who govern the secular (day-to-day business) aspects of St. Sebastian by-the-Sea's Parish life.
 

Led by our rector, this group meets at least monthly (on the second Sunday of the month - following the 10:30 AM service) and as needed to consider special issues. All members of the Parish are always welcome to attend the meetings except on those rare occasions when a special executive session is called by the Rector.

Episcopal Church Women

An organization committed to one another and called to be witnesses of Christ. They provide a safe place where every woman is free to become the person Christ created her to be. ECW is made up of women of all ages, ethnic origins and socioeconomic backgrounds in the Episcopal Church USA, who choose to participate. Our ECW group is quite active and supports a variety of endeavors.

Daughters of the King

An Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, or churches in communion with it, or churches who are in the Historic Episcopate. Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. Daughters pledge to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of their parishes.

Altar Guild

This is a group of women in our parish who keep and maintain the altar linens, gold and other eucharistic vessels.  Please Click Here for the Altar Guild schedule.

Order of St. Luke

This is a Christian Healing Ministry supported by several members of our parish. The International Order of St. Luke the Physician is an ecumenical organization dedicated to the Christian healing ministry. Members meet together in local chapters to study Scripture, especially the biblical stories of the healing miracles, as well as other books on Christian healing. Members also engage in healing prayer, often with the laying-on of hands.
 

Our Acolytes

Our Parish's Acolytes offer service during many of our celebrations of the Holy Eucharist. They also enjoy great fellowship by traveling to such places and Wet'N'Wild and Night of Joy each year.  For the Acolyte Schedule please CLICK HERE
