Members of the Altar Guild (women and men) are essential to our form of worship. They are responsible for everything that takes place on or near the Altar. Our Altar Guild tirelessly set up all the Elements and accessories needed for the Eucharist and mark the Altar Book and Bible for each Service. They keep all the linens immaculately clean and pressed, and all the candles trimmed and ready for lighting. They polish and shine all silver, brass, etc. used in our various services. During Lent, they veil (change colors) and re-veil all the Crosses in the Church. Weekly flowers, holiday flowers, special decorations and much more are all arranged and placed by these Saints. They attend to all special services such as Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, Memorial Services and on and on and on.
Congregants may sponsor the altar flowers in honor of a loved one. A donation of $35 goes to the purchase of the flowers and the arrangement is made by members of the church. A sign up sheet by week is located in the Narthex.
The Altar Guild always works quietly, prayerfully, and willingly. If you would like to participate in this ministry, contact Marcia Simington at marciae.simington@gmail.com
