1 The Church of the Holy Innocents 2013 Altar Guild Booklet Altar Prayer Give me an open mind, O God, a mind ready to receive and to welcome such new light of knowledge as it is thy will to reveal to me. Let not the past ever be so dear to me as to set a limit to the future. Give me courage to change my mind, when that is needed. Let me be tolerant to the thoughts of others and hospitable to such light as may come to me through them. Amen. John Ba illie

5 Page 6 Altar Guild Prayers The National Altar Guild Association Prayer by The Rt. Rev. E. Don Taylor, Vicar Bishop of New York City Most gracious Father Who has called me Your child to serve in the preparation of Your Altar, so that it may be a suitable place for the offering of Your Body and Blood; Sanctify my life and consecrate my hands so that I may worthily handle those Sacred Gifts which are being offered to You. As I handle holy things, grant that my whole life may be illuminated and blessed by You, in whose honor I prepare them, and grant that the people who shall be blessed by their use, may find their lives drawn closer to Him Whose Body and Blood is our hope and our strength, Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. A Prayer for Our Rector O Lord, let me be a pillar of strength to hold him up, and not a thorn in his flesh to sap his strength, nor a burden on his back to pull him down. Let me support him without striving to possess him. Let me lift his hands without placing shackles around them. Let me give him help that he may devote more time to working for the salvation of others and less time in gratifying my vanity. Let me work for him as the minister of all the members, and not compel him to spend precious time bragging about me. Let me strive to be happy as he serves me less and others more. AMEN. Altar Guild
6 Page 7 Altar Linens Setting up for a service: 1. Choose purificators from the front of the zip-lock bag, beginning from the left. 2. Choose lavabo towels, corporals and credence table covers from the top of the pile. 3. When changing a fair linen, choose the one with the earliest laundered date. All of the above helps to control the frequency that each piece of linen is laundered. It will, therefore, last longer. Cleaning up after a service: 1. If there are no stains on the corporal or credence table covers, fold them carefully and place them on the top of their pile, in the proper baggies. 2. Remember to remove the credence table cover from the back table. 3. Remove the purificators from the bourse and replace them in the zip lock bag. 4. Place used linens and towels on the glass rod in the safe closet. 5. When changing the damask hangings, be careful to avoid making a fold on the embroidered symbols. Fold the hangings with the damask side up. 6. If a roll is available, please roll the damask veil. Care of Silver 1. Gloves should always be worn when handling the silver. 2. A committee will be notified of their turn to polish the silver by notice on the chairman s mailing card. 3. The silver should be polished at least once a quarter and before any special occasion. 4. Anytime a committee feels the silver needs attention, they should polish it. 5. Each silver piece should be placed in the appropriate silver bag. The Church of the Holy Innocents
