This update of a classic guide on altar guild ministry offers a lively blend of liturgical history, sacramental theology, and practical hints. The authors combine how-to advice with creative ideas on preparing for the traditional liturgies and simpler, special-occasion services. All the basics are covered -- the altar guilds' origins, function, and how they are organized, the sacristy, preparing the church for worship, decorating, cleaning, setting the table, selecting and caring for vestments. The New Altar Guild Book also includes a thorough and creative section on decorating the church, with suggestions for hangings, candles, and flowers. The section on vestments covers their history, colors, and meanings, innovative ways of making and embroidering them, their care and storage. Book jacket.
