The
Altar Guild consists of dedicated women and men who care for the altar
and sanctuary of Zion Church and All Saints' Chapel. Working in
teams of two, they are custodians for the vessels, linens, paraments,
and vestments used in the worship of the Church. Preparing the
Altar, cleaning vessels, arranging flowers, greens, and palms,
polishing brass, and washing, pressing, and folding linens are
privileges of this ministry of serving at God's Altar, which is the
center of the Church's corporate life. Altar Guild members strive
to reflect the beauty found in the traditional Anglican liturgy and the
harmony found in the seasons of the Church Year.
