The Altar Guild is a very important ministry involving preparation of the altar for worship. Members of the Altar Guild work in teams that prepare on Saturday mornings, do final setup on Sunday mornings, and do clean-up following each service. Their work involves things like cleaning and polishing silver, caring for the altar linens, paying attention to how things are arranged, on the altar and the credence tables, as well as in the sacristy. It is a wonderful ministry for people who love making things nice and caring for the small details that make things go smoothly. Their quiet and understated discipline is a kind of spiritual practice, and many of them report that they feel very close to God as they go about their duties. If this is something you would like to know more about, please contact Iris Roskell.
