Looking for a way to get involved? 

Your Altar Guild is requesting support from the congregation in order to help carry out our mission.  

We prepare the communion elements for each service, funeral or wedding (if included in the service). At this time, we are looking specifically for new members for the 10:30 service. We are hoping to increase from our current five members to six to eight members. Our members currently serve once a month by themselves except during Lent, Christmas or months with five Sundays. 

We welcome individuals and couples. We request the Sundays you cannot serve before scheduling the next month to accommodate schedules. We can also coordinate with the acolyte schedule so you and your child/youth serve on the same day. 

Training is provided and you will shadow an experienced member as long as needed. We appreciate your consideration of this opportunity. 

Interested? Please contact Jeanne Shannon with any questions or if you are interested in joining the Altar Guild team. jeannetshannon@gmail.com

A Huge Thank You to Eric Seale and Troop 5.

Eric and his troop coordinated a Scouting for Food drive last weekend at the Thomas St. Piggly Wiggly in Rocky Mount and the Washington St. Piggly Wiggly in Nashville. What you see below is what was collected to help those in need. Thanks to Eric and Troop 5, our neighbors who use the Pantry Box (built last year by Eric) will benefit.
