Use Your Gifts in Worship

Use Your Gifts in Worship

St. John’s has many ways you can get involved. If any of the groups below interest you, please call the Church Office at 608-291-4311 or send an email for more information. You can also pick up a copy of the Leadership Directory from the Welcome Center, which has contact information for teams and committee members. 

Did you know that it takes about 60 people to plan, organize, and participate in worship each week?  If you would like to participate in any of our worship services, please call the church office at 608-291-4311 or send an email for more information.

These 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.

Email Sandi Linstroth at dslinstroth@gmail.com or Martha McGregor at mcgregor.martha@gmail.com for further information
or if you are interested in joining our sisterhood.
