ALTAR GUILD
The
Altar Guild is a very caring and very blessed ministry. Its primary
purpose is to prepare and maintain the Altar and Eucharistic vessels, as
well as the Altar and Sanctuary, for all services including weddings,
memorials, ordinations, funerals, etc.
A sample of the handiwork of the
Altar Guild maybe gleaned from the 2006 Easter Sunday flower
arrangements below. [Click on a picture to view a larger version and

Aren't the
flower arrangements above BEAUTIFUL ?

Fruits and vegetable offerings arranged beautifully by the Altar Guild
members for the 2006 Thanksgiving Eucharist (Nov. 19, 2006). Love and
devotion to the Risen Lord, truly, can accomplish wondrous things.

| Carl Clausen, the silent Altar Guild worker. I chanced on Carl
during the BStA work and fun day last May 6, 2006 silently fixing the
altar for the next day's Eucharist. He was reluctant having his picture
taken as his clothes were dirty and messed up from cleaning. I told him that
is exactly the way I wanted to depict him - unmindful of getting dirty
and messed up in the service of
the risen Christ. He was gracious enough to pose for me. Carl is now
with his Maker in the sweet bye and bye. LBS. |
