Welcome to Grace Lutheran Church Altar Guild
We are diverse group of ladies (and men, if they would like to join) who love serving Grace. How do we do this? By attending to the altar needs for worship — making the altar area ready for worship and the celebrating of Holy Communion. Every Altar Guilder serves at least eight times during the year. Some like to serve only during the summer months, and others really like to serve during the holidays, when the chancel (the part of the church where you will find the altar) is decked out in all its glory. We meet the third Tuesday of every month from September through May (except for January). But not all meetings are about Altar Guild business. Two meetings a year are dinners out (we Altar Guilders love to have fun), and the December meeting is the annual Altar Guild Christmas Dinner (hosted by an Altar Guilder, and spouses or significant others are invited). And although there aren't that many of us, we really rock!
Serving on the Altar Guild is not really that difficult, and, while it is an investment of time, it really doesn't take that long. We are responsible for dressing the altar for the 10:30 service ( we start at 10:00), and we clean up afterward (which usually takes about 30-40 minutes). We take care of Grace's "treasures", and, if we need to, take the Sunday flowers to a shut-in, or a member of the church.
Grace's Altar Guilders invite you to join us for any of our meetings at the church, or to become a member.
For the new schedule please click this link: schedule. Dear Altar Guilders, please check back regularly, as conflicts do arise, and the schedule will change. The changes will be published to the web as soon as possible. And, as always, the schedule will be posted in the sacristy (the room where we get all of Grace's "treasures" ready for Sunday services). There will be a reminder in Grace Notes (which you can get to by clicking on the link), and an announcement in the bulletin.
Please join us for fellowship, fun and service to the church.
