Altar Flowers:
We were recently notified by our florist that the cost for weekly floral arrangements for our altar has gone up by 23% as of September 1st. In addition to the increase in price, they are now charging a $10 weekly delivery fee. Each arrangement will now cost us $50. Therefore, we must raise the memorial altar flower donations minimum to $50. As usual, the church does not make any money from these requests. We will monitor this for the remainder of the year and determine if this will be feasible for the church moving forward.
Altar Guild:
The Altar Guild is a liturgical partner to our clergy, preparing everything necessary for the celebration of the Eucharist and other sacraments. They maintain the altar linens, vessels, and implements kept in the church sacristy and help with seasonal decorations according to the Church calendar, reflecting the holiness and joy of worship. We are currently in need of more members for this important ministry. If you have a few hours a month to assist this vital service or have any questions, please contact Donna Betz (Donna.Betz.asod@
gmail.com) or Kathy Kingsbury.
