The Altar Guild is the ministry of those who care for a liturgical space. It is their responsibility to
prepare a place for worship. It requires careful attention to all of the furnishings and decorations in the space where worshipers
gather. The Altar Guild is responsible for the care of vessels, linens, hangings, decorations etc. They work under the priest's
direction. At St. John's we work in teams of 3's and usually serve for a week once per month. The Altar Guild could
use your help. Men and teenagers are welcome to join.
