The Altar Guild is a ministry of lay people who care for the Altar and Eucharistic vessels as well as the Altar and Sanctuary for all services including worship, weddings, memorials, ordinations and funerals. Specific duties include:
- Preparing the sanctuary for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist
- Caring for vestments, vessels and linens
- Caring for and arranging flowers
- Changing the hangings, candles, etc. to make the church ready for all services
- Ordering the supplies.
The Altar Guild also keeps the calendar and arranges for the beautiful flowers and decorations on holidays, special occasions and regularly scheduled services as well as the Sanctuary candle. If you would like to sponsor flowers and/or the Sanctuary candle, you will find a sign-up calendar in the Narthex. A contribution of $45 is suggested for flowers and $5 for the candle. This does not reflect the actual cost of the flowers, however, those Sundays for which more than one person signs up helps support the weeks that have only a single sponsor.
This is a very caring, blessed ministry and there is always a need for new members. If you are interested in becoming an Altar Guild member, please speak to the Rector or call the office (261-2355).
