       The Mission of the Altar Guild Is:

      To minister to the altar of our Savior, Jesus, who is the Christ.

      To minister to the clergy, supporting them as they go to the altar to celebrate the sacrament of the Eucharist.

      To minister to our congregations, setting before them an island of calm and beauty to which they come to receive the sacrament of the Body and Blood of our Lord, the center of their spiritual lives.

      To minister to each other by setting an example of dedication and gentle encouragement.

      To minister to the world by setting ourselves in God's way
