The Altar Guild is the “arm of the priest” (or perhaps more like the stage crew). Duties include insuring proper liturgical colors for all vestments and hangings on the pulpit and lectern, preparing the Communion vessels for all services and for the shut-in visitation kits, setting up the altar, and laundering and ironing all linens. There are also special tasks associated with holidays, baptisms, weddings, funerals, and memorial services.
At St. Mark’s, members work on teams, each team serving once per month, setting up on Saturday and cleaning up on Sunday. For more information, contact Ginny Spring or Ann Evans..
