Chancel Guild
The Chancel Guild prepares the church for worship each week. The Guild:
- ensures that the wine, water, and wafers are ready for the Minister to serve
- places candles on the altar
- arranges beautiful flowers
- orders supplies
- launders the fair linen
- cares for all sacred vessels and vestments
The Guild also prepares for religious holidays:
- Thanksgiving - The Guild decorates the church with the fruits of the harvest.
- Palm Sunday - The Guild makes palm crosses.
- Christmas - The Guild decorates the tree and the church.
The Guild also prepares the altar for weddings and funerals.
Everything that the Guild does, and all that it uses, has deep meaning. Guild members learn about customs and practices that go back deep into history, some back into the life of the early church.
