The ministry of the Altar Guild is to the glory of God. It is God’s house and the Lord’s Table that Altar Guild members are asked to prepare and maintain. Through the Altar Guild members’ work, the people will know their church is a holy place, a place where God is honored. It is also a ministry to one another. Members of the Altar Guild are called to care for one another as a community.

We would love to have you join us.

Altar Guild members are assigned a team and a worship service (8:00 or 10:30) depending on the service you regularly attend. Currently, teams are committed to 2 Sundays on and 2 Sundays off. We also meet monthly to plan services, do general maintenance, share ideas, and information. Training and support is offered every Sunday. Drop in after a service and we’ll chat with you.

If you would like more information contact Nancy Zabel, our Sacristan. nancyzabel4@gmail.com

Saint Benedict's Episcopal Church

Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard

At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
