Guilds

St. Gilbert's Guild
St. Gilbert's Guild supports the clergy in assuring that the Daily Office is said each day at St. Mark's. Members of this Guild are especially helpful by reading Morning and Evening Prayer when the clergy are away for vacations, retreats, meetings, and regular days off. Those who read the Daily Office as a rule of Life are encouraged to join and assist in providing this service to our Parish family.

St. Monnica's Guild
The Guild offers intercessory prayer and maintains prayer lists for use in corporate worship and individual intercession.

Brotherhood of St. Andrew
The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew is a men's ministry of the church. It's goal is to bring men to Christ through observance of three basic disciplines - prayer, study and service.

Altar Guild and Flower Guild
The Altar Guild is entrusted with the responsibility of assisting the clergy in caring for the altar and all items that are used during our worship. Altar Guild work is a labor of love offered to God, not just a chore that must be done. If you like to polish, clean, put things in order, pay attention to details and stay in the background, the Altar Guild is an excellent ministry for you. The Flower Guild prepares the flowers and greens for the decoration of the altar. Special service is required during the festival seasons such as the "Greening" of the Church for Christmas and preparations for Holy Week.

Acolytes and Adult Servers
This group consists of the acolytes, lectors, lay eucharistic ministers and ushers of the parish. Servers must be regular in attendance for worship and reliable in scheduled service.

If you are interested in finding more information on these guilds please contact the Parish Office.
