The Altar Guild Ministry
The Altar Guild Ministry maintains our altar in the Sanctuary. Before each service the altar is prepared by team members. The altar and prayer table candles are lit at the start of each service and extinguished after services. Members coordinate with the pastor and the Worship Committee to arrange for any special altar dressings or worship service procedures.
Members who participate during services should dress appropriately in order to project a better impression of the ministry and the church.

The ministry also coordinates with the Prayer Partners Ministry to make known needs that may be shared.
Members who meet and greet before, during, and after services should dress appropriately in order to project a better impression of the ministry and the church for members, friends, and guests.
