Altar Guild Recognition... Sunday Nov. 13 8 and 10:00 a.m: Altar Guild Commissioning and Recognition Sunday. The Altar Guild of St. Martha's is a wonderful group of very dedicated people who work diligently behind the scenes to make sure that everything is in place for the celebration of the Eucharist. They care for the altar linens, polish the silver and brass, set out the wine and the bread, prepare the candles and set up for Sunday and special services. And that's just the tip of their iceberg; they truly are St. Martha's unsung heros.
