Altar Guild Overview The focus for the Altar Guild is the Eucharist . . . for which we set the table, clear the table, and do the dishes ! Actually, it’s a bit more than this as our primary purpose is to prepare areas and occasions for
worship. These areas are most often the Altar, but can include other
places such as the Parish Hall, and even outdoors as at our annual
picnic. The occasions are most often regularly scheduled worship, but
also include special events, weddings and funerals. The Altar Guild is responsible for the care of vessels, vestments,
linens and other church furnishings used in worship. It is our ministry
to see that these items are cleaned, repaired, polished, laundered,
ironed and properly placed for use by the clergy in worship. Here at St. Peter’s we have a team approach. The Altar Guild is
divided into four teams and each team serves every fourth week. Team
service begins on Saturday and runs through the following Friday. The
calendar for this service rotation is published long in advance so that
team members can plan accordingly, and is available on this page. Each
Team has a contact person who keeps that Team informed. This ministry
is open to anyone who is willing to make a commitment and who enjoys
the quiet satisfaction of a job well done ! The Altar Guild is looking for a few good women (and/or men) to take
part in this important ministry. Anyone interested in joining an
existing team or forming a new team is encouraged to contact Bonnie Johnson
at (904) 491-1294-9285 or Linda Lentjes at (904) 491-5222.
