Altar guild

Picture
Estelle Gifford is the Altar Guild directress.

In general, the duty of the Altar Guild is to prepare all things necessary for the conduct and celebration of public worship at The Church of the Holy Name. This includes Sunday morning liturgies, funerals, weddings, special services such as  Christmas Eve and Day services, and the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter. The preparations are done reverently and prayerfully so that all services may proceed in order and beauty to the glory of God in Jesus Christ.
​
A Prayer for use when serving at the Altar,
GRANT, O Lord, we beseech Thee, that we may handle holy things with reverence and godly fear, and perform our work with such faithfulness and devotion that it may rise with acceptance
before Thee and obtain Thy blessing; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
