The Altar Guild provides weekly and festival flowers for the sanctuary, and purchases and cares for the altar linens, silver vessels, needlepoint kneelers and cushions that grace our church, as well as the clergy vestments and altar frontals used in our services. In addition, the Altar Guild provides the wine and wafers used in the celebration of Holy Eucharist.

The flowers and decorations that grace our church during the Easter season are traditionally given in memory of and in thanksgiving for beloved relatives and friends. These contributions also help support the work of the Altar Guild throughout the year. To have names listed in the Easter bulletins, return the response card with the full names of those you wish to have remembered, along with your check, made payable to The Altar Guild of St. James’ Church. Names must be received by Monday, March 3rd in order to be listed for Easter.
