Team Leader: Peyton Wright
The Anglican Diocese of the South describes the Altar Guild as a lay ministry to serve God in His house by preparing the Sanctuary for worship, maintaining and caring for the sacred vessels, altar linens, and vestments, and serving the clergy and the parish. Following procedures and traditions of the Church, the Altar Team functions “behind the scenes”, before and after each service. Serving on the Altar Guild provides a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth through humble service, and the opportunity to help as assistants to the clergy in making the worship life of the parish run smoothly. The Altar Team might be for you if you would like to (1) serve in a quiet yet important way, (2) be involved but don’t feel comfortable “up front”, or (3) would enjoy the opportunity to learn more about the elements and symbolism liturgy.
