Altar Guild
Members of the Altar
Guild (women and men) are essential to our form of worship. They are responsible for
everything that takes place on or near the Altar. They tirelessly set up all the Elements
and accessories needed for the Eucharist and mark the Altar Book and Bible for each
Service. They keep all the linens immaculately clean and pressed, and all the candles
trimmed and ready for lighting. They polish and shine all silver, brass, etc. that are
used in our various Services. As you have seen recently, during Lent, they veil -change
colors - and re-veil all the Crosses in the Church. Weekly flowers, holiday flowers,
special decorations and much more are all arranged and placed by these Saints. They attend
to all special Services such as Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, Memorial Services and on and
on and on.
The Altar Guild always works quietly, prayerfully and willingly. If
you would like to participate in this ministry, contact Marcia Simington, Altar Guild
Directress for Church of the Nativity.
