Curious about the Altar Guild?

Posted

As written so beautifully by Josephine Smith Wood in her Altar Guild Manual, 1915,  “Before entering upon work about the Altar, kneel a few moments at the Chancel rail, and, offering your work to God, ask Him to accept and bless it, and enable you to do it worthily.  It is a great honor and privilege to be allowed to care for the holy things in God’s house.”

Feeling inspired?

The Altar Guild plays a very important role at All Saints and is a lay ministry to serve God in His house by preparing the Sanctuary for worship, maintaining and caring for the sacred vessels, altar linens, and vestments, and serving the clergy and the parish.

The next Altar Guild’s next meeting is set for June 22 at 9:15 a.m. in the Fireside (Vesting) room. If you are curious about the Altar Guild’s role at All Saints, or would like to join, please come to this meeting or touch base with Director Daphne Von Essen via email at daphneve@cox.net
