Altar Guild Teams

The teams prepare the altar for all services including Communion, memorial services and others as required. The members store and maintain the altar paraments, altar cloths, brass, and candles. Team members are scheduled one month at a time which equates to about one hour per week during the scheduled month. 

The Need

Altar Guild members perform a vital worship ministry by preparing the Alter table and setting up for Communion for each service.

Setting up for Communion involves filling the Ciboriums with wafers and filling the trays of individual cups with wine or juice.

After each service the items are returned to the sacristy and cleaned to be ready for next use. 

Who can join?

Any church member can join the Altar guild  as an individual or as couples, whether full-time or seasonal.

No previous experience is required.

Training and written instructions are provided for each service.

Members share responsibility by working in teams; new volunteers are paired with experienced volunteers.
