The Altar Guild: A Ministry of Beauty and Holiness
Mission
The Altar Guild is the Philoptochos Ministry entrusted with the significant task of church beautification. They are parishioners who serve God by caring for the sanctuary and everything in it. They are often unseen and unnoticed, but their ministry is essential for the smooth flow of worship and for creating an atmosphere of reverence. They work behind the scenes to decorate the icons for each feast, clean and polish the chalices and altarpieces, clean and maintain the vestments and linens, and prepare the prosphora (offertory bread for Holy Communion). These responsibilities play a crucial role in our church's spiritual environment.
Participation
The Altar Guild is open to anyone who feels called to serve. No prior experience or special skills are required, only a willing heart and a desire to serve. Our ministry, which currently has about 12 dedicated ladies, enriches our worship experience and honors God’s glory. We warmly invite you to join us!
