THE ACOLYTE PROGRAM
The Acolyte Program was begun in the Williamston Church
during the pastorate of Arthur Winstead in 1980. The word
"acolyte" comes from the Greek meaning "follower," "attendant,"
or one who serves or assists the clergy in the service. In
the days of Samuel, service in the sanctuary was an honor and
privilege, and so it is with the young people who have chosen to
participate in this most meaningful service. Their part in the service
is not for show, but to make the service more orderly and
worshipful. This program has added much dignity and reverence
to our services.
