St. Luke’s Altar Guild – Not just for women anymore.

We find that we now have an urgent need for at least 5 new Altar Guild members.  We are not the traditional women-only group as our current membership includes several couples.  Going forward, we are encouraging couples and families with confirmation-age children to serve St. Luke’s by preparing our altar area for weekly worship, communion, and holiday Sundays.
 
We have a core group of experienced members who are anxious to train and assist new members.
 
Although Altar Guild meets, as a group, once a month to review the past month and prepare for the next, only one person needs to represent each couple or family at the meetings.  The meetings are at 6:30 pm on the second Monday of the month, September through May. 
 
We work in teams and pride ourselves on being flexible, available, and helpful to each other.  We really need to increase our membership and know that you will find it a joyful and fulfilling way to serve our congregation.
 
In summary, St. Luke’s Altar Guild works together to care for the altar area and prepare for worship, including:

• Setting up communion
• Setting up for baptisms
• Changing paraments and flags according to the seasonal colors and celebrations
• Caring for altar linens and candles
• Ordering fresh flowers
• Decorating for Christmas and Easter

 
 
Please contact us with your interest, questions or concerns.  We would love to have you come to our next meeting and check us out.
