Flower Guild
Cindy Johnson, Coordinator
The Flower Guild orders and arranges flowers for the altars and nave for Sunday worship and meets with wedding parties. Flowers may be given to commemorate occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or as memorials. The Flower Guild will be responsible for ordering all altar arrangements and will endeavor to accommodate special requests whenever possible. Several donors may participate on any given Sunday and parishioners may give flowers on more than one Sunday of the year. With a contribution of $100 per Sunday, you can give flowers at the High Altar or in St. George's Chapel and with a contribution of $60 per Sunday, you can give flowers in St. Mary's Chapel.
The Saint Paul Guild of Readers and Chalice Bearers
Ronald Evans, Coordinator
Saint Paul Schedules
Members of the St. Paul Guild read the Lessons, lead the Prayers of the People and pass the chalice each Sunday and at special services throughout the church year, including weddings and funerals. Members also read the daily offices of Morning and Evening Prayer, a form of service which reaches back to the earliest days of the Anglican Church. Currently, more than 40 men and women have committed themselves to the discipline and dedication of this ministry.
Lector's Guild
Members of the Lector's Guild read the first lesson at the 9:15 a.m. service, but do not serve as chalice bearers during communion or read Morning and Evening Prayer.
