Altar Guild is a lay ministry that has the sacred responsibility to prepare the altar for worship. We work under the direction of our priest. Members of the Altar Guild handle and care for the holy vessels, the linens, the wine, the wafers and the candles that are a part of our weekly worship experience. Altar Guild members set-up the altar before each service and clean up after the service ends. In addition, our members hand wash and iron the linens that we use each Sunday. 

If you are interested in serving and/or learning more about this very important ministry, please contact the church office at office@stjamestempe.org or (480)345-2686.
