Altar Guild

Altar Guild members prepare the altar for Sunday and othe services, and set up the Eucharist.  This ministry provides a wonderful opportunity to serve "behind the scenes" with a minimal time commitment!

Altar Prayer Ministry

The Altar Prayer Ministry prays for the specific needs of individuals at the altar rail during Sunday morning Communion time.  This ministry's dedicated membes find it a blessing and a privilege to serve in the way, and a joy to hear of answers to prayer.  Two-person prayer teams serve approximately one Sunday per month.

Altar Flower Guild

The talented members of the Altar Flower Guild create the beautiful floral arrangements that appear behind the altar on Sundays and major church holidays.  These arrangements may be sponsored by individuals and dedicated in honor or memory of a loved one.  The Altar Flower Guild also helps decorate the sanctuary at Christmas and Easter with the poinsettias and lilies purchased by members of the congregation.
