Altar Guild

Initially, the Disciples set the Table for Eucharist, but as the Christian community grew they found it necessary to delegate the responsibility.

Today, the Altar Guild of Saint John’s is responsible for preparing the Altar for the Sunday, Wednesday and Special Services such as weddings, funerals, baptisms and the outside services held in the Memorial Garden. They decorate the church for the Advent, Christmas, Palm Sunday, and Easter liturgical holidays.

Altar Guild members are all volunteers who consider this ministry to be a privilege and go about their duties reverently. They are honored to be in charge of setting the Lord’s table for each service, where the Saint John’s family and its guests may join together for the Eucharistic meal.
