St. Paul's Altar Guild
“Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters, since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the Lord Christ.”

Members of the Altar Guild serve the Lord by caring for the altar, vestments, vessels, flowers, and altar linens at St. Paul’s. Altar Guild members prepare the sanctuary for services, and decorate and undecorate the church on special holidays.
We are in need of new members, and particularly encourage newcomers to St. Paul’s to join the Altar Guild. No prior experience or specialized knowledge is necessary to participate in this ministry.
For more information about the Altar Guild, please contact Irene Flynn through the Church Office.
