ALTAR GUILD

The Altar Guild is a group of men and women who tend the altar and sanctuary and prepare it for worship. They arrange flowers, polish silver, ensure linens are cared for, put up altar hangings, update the hymn board, purchase wafers and wine, and they set up the altar area for all worship services. Members work in groups of two or three for a month at a time. Like Aaron whose role it was to tend the Temple, the Altar Guild is a holy ministry.

COMMUNION WAFERS
We have gluten free wafers available when you take communion.  If you follow a gluten free diet and would like to receive the gluten free wafer at the altar rail, please tell Stephanie or Marlene Smith.

FLOWERS FOR NEW BORN BABIES
If you have or hear of a new baby being born to one of our parishioners, we’d like to put a rose on the baptismal font to acknowledge the new birth.  This would also include parishioner’s grandchildren.  Please call Marlene Smith (603-382-8151) as soon as the baby is born, so that we can put an announcement in the Sunday Bulletin and order a flower.
