PRAYER OF THE ALTAR GUILD

by Mrs. David St. Pierre DuBose

Dear God, Heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity to serve Thee in This, Thy earthly sanctuary. Create in us a pure desire to love and serve Thee better.

Cleanse Thy church and this altar guild, beginning with me. Root out all prejudice, bitterness and blindness of heart. May we have a true feeling of cooperation, joyful devotion and glad willingness.

Be with our clergy as they try to interpret the Gospel of Jesus. Hold them close, especially in times of discouragement and tiredness. And grant that we may be of real help to them.

This we ask in Thy dear Son’s Name. Amen.

A PRAYER FOR THE ALTAR GUILD

(found among Miss Roberta Aldrich’s papers)

O God, who hast granted unto us, Thy servants, the privilege of caring for Thy earthly sanctuary, enable us, we beseech Thee to discharge the duties of our office with humility and godly fear. May we have grace ever to be mindful of Thy presence and of the solemnity of the work in which we are engaged. May our reverence increase as we become more familiar with holy things. Make us faithful here in serving Thee, that we may be better fitted hereafter to praise Thee with all the company of Thy saints - those blessed ones who stand before Thy throne and serve Thee day and night in Thy temple; through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

THE REQUISITES FOR OUR MINISTRY ARE:

Reverence - we are working with holy things

Cheerfulness - we are giving ourselves and our time

Promptness - services must be done on time

Ranna Dial DuBose

Reverence is a tender, affectionate regard for holy things. Reverence is placed first because it is our greatest need in the preparation of our work in the sanctuary. Whatever else we lack, reverence we must have. This spirit of reverence lies underneath and behind all our work in the sanctuary.

80 CARE OF LINENS

FOR HIGH ALTAR AND BOTH CHAPELS

1. The linens should be laundered by a member of the Altar Guild and never given to a laundress. Never use starch in anything. Linens may be soaked in Biz or the like to remove stains—washing purificators with Pears soap takes out lipstick. They should be washed by hand in hot water and soap. Rinse thoroughly.

2. Roll while still quite damp and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for two hours or even overnight.

3. Iron on the wrong side first with embroidery on white terry towel, then on the right side.

4. These linens should then be put on rollers: a) Fair linen and dust covers b) Baptismal and cremains table covers

5. These linens should be ironed flat and unfolded: a) Credence shelf and credence table covers b) Silver tray covers

6. Towels should be folded but never creased.

7. The palls may be washed with soap and water. If necessary use a soft brush. Set up to drain and dry.

81 8. Small linens should be folded this way: a) Corporal - lay corporal flat with decorative cross at the bottom - facing up.

Fold bottom third UP. Fold top third DOWN. Fold right side IN. Fold left side IN and OVER the right side.

(The decorative cross will not be visible, since it is now completely folded to the inside. Remember the purpose of the corporal is to be a ‘napkin’ in the sense of folding any particles of bread within it.) b) Purificator

Folded in ‘nines’ as in diagram. Here the decorative cross will be visible in the center of the `top.’

9. Altar Guild Chairman determines how and who to clean super frontals, silk burses, veils, and palls and wedding kneeler covers.

82 ORGANIZATION OF THE ALTAR GUILD

1. The Executive Committee of the Altar Guild is composed of : 2. a) Altar Guild Chairman, appointed by the Dean to serve one year. b) Altar Guild Co-Chairman, selected by the Chairman (with approval of the Dean) to serve one year.
