ALTAR GUILD
Service on the Altar Guild is a vocation. It is not just another Church job. It is a sacred ministry undertaken in love and dedication by men and women who are called by God to prepare and tend the places where the Body of Christ worships. The Altar Guild has a special role as the priest's liturgical partner in making the worship life of the parish run smoothly. The Bazaar Committee is responsible for planning, organizing and producing the Bazaar,the Parish's largest single fundraising effort, typically held on the first Friday and Saturday in December of each year. Initial planning begins in early February.
FLOWER GUILD
St. John's believes that beauty elevates the worship experience and the Church is blessed by the presence of Wallace Gray, a master designer, along with and assisted by a dedicated corp of floral artisans who weekly adorn the sanctuary with beautiful seasonal floral decorations.
In Holy Week they transform the Lady Chapel to a virtual Garden of Gethsemane where people keep watch during the night following the Maundy Thursday services. On Rogation Sunday in the fall, the entire Church becomes a visual cornucopia of the harvest s bounty. Pentecost Sunday is set ablaze with flowers in every hue of red and Christmas each year is a visual expression of the season's joy.
