Servers and Vergers Guilds
The Servers’ Guild is composed of youth enrolled in the Sixth through Twelfth grades who serve as acolytes at worship services. The Vergers’ Guild is composed of adult parishioners who assist the clergy during services and train and supervise the Servers. Their service and commitment to this ministry contribute to the tradition of superior liturgy at CSMSG.
Ushers
Ushers serve on Sunday mornings by warmly welcoming parishioners, handing out service leaflets, passing alms basins, directing parishioners to Communion, restoring the pews to order following the liturgy, and counting the offering.
The St. Paul Guild of Readers and Chalice Bearers
Members of the St. Paul Guild of Readers and Chalice Bearers read the Daily Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer, a form of service that reaches back to the earliest days of the Anglican tradition. Members of the Guild also read the Lessons and pass the Chalice each Sunday and at special services throughout the church year, including weddings and funerals. Please contact Mark Throdahl by email or at 314.571.9343.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild invites you to deepen your spiritual life and connection to the liturgy by becoming a member. This ministry is dedicated to the service of God by lovingly preparing the altars. Many hands are needed, both weekdays and Sundays, to care for the linens, candles, and silver.
