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.
Individuals select a month per year for service. The twelve assembled teams then divide the various duties according to personal preference.
Christmas and Easter offer special times for the whole Altar Guild to beautify St. Mary’s with seasonal greens and poinsettias, or with fresh floral arrays, respectively.
The Altar Guild hosts an annual luncheon conference with the rector, as well as with visiting flower arrangers, to greet new members and give instruction on procedure and policy.
