Here are some ways you can participate:
Altar Guild
St. John’s Altar Guild is a group of dedicated women entrusted to prepare our chancel
for worship. The Altar Guild sets up for and cleans up after Holy Communion.
They change paraments and display banners according to the liturgical season,
work behind the scenes to be sure communion supplies are well stocked, and see to
the candles and sanctuary flower orders. They also clean, wash, and/or polish
communion vessels, and take care of the baptismal font,
altar linens and all the brass.
Altar Guild meets every second Tuesday of the month at 1:00 pm in St. John’s
Fireside Room, and occasionally at a member’s home for planning and fellowship.
Send an email to Sandi Linstroth or Martha McGregor for more information or if you are interested in joining our sisterhood.
