Altar Guild
Members of the St. Mary’s Altar Guild provide multiple ministries in support of worship services. Arrangement of flowers, preparation of the sanctuary for Holy Communion, Baptism, or the daily office, special decoration of the church for Christmas and Easter, assistance with weddings, sewing and maintenance of hangings and fair linen, the maintenance of sacristy supplies, and other forms of liturgical assistance comprise the work of the guild.
There are six Altar Guild teams who each take responsibility for two months in the calendar year. There are plenty of experienced people to work with new members, and it is a wonderful way to meet and get to know others in this special place we all love.
Please contact us at the parish office (telephone: (804) 784-5678) or info@stmarysgoochland.org to join!
