The Altar Guild is a volunteer group of the parish whose ministry is to prepare the sanctuary for worship by setting out the elements for the Eucharist; cleaning the sanctuary; and caring for vestments, vessels, fair linens and paraments.
Preparations are made for 1) all Sunday services; 2) special services pertaining to Lent, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas; and 3) baptism, confirmation and first communion, weddings, and funeral/memorial services.
Members of the Guild are responsible for Sunday sanctuary flowers, which include memorial and thanksgiving requests, as well as decorating for church festivals.
