Duties

The Altar Guild serves under the direction of the Rector. Responsibilities are divided between the Altar Guild Chairman and three teams. Each team serves for a full month, once every three months. The team schedule lists current team members.

The Altar Guild strives to help the worship life of the parish run smoothly. Our duties include:

  • Draping the altar with the appropriate hangings for the season.
  • Setting up the altar and communion vessels prior to each service.
  • After each service, cleaning and storing the items used.
  • Laundering linens used during the service.
  • Ordering flowers for the altar.
  • Ordering and arranging seasonal decorations.
  • Monitoring and ordering supplies.
  • In general, maintaining the articles used in the worship life of the parish in good order.
