Chancel Guild
A team of dedicated parish ladies who prepare the altar for each Eucharist celebrated at St John’s. They are responsible for caring for the Church’s silver, brass, and linens. A smaller group of ladies ensure that the main altar is decorated with flowers on a weekly basis and co-ordinate the decoration of the church at Christmas and Easter. To donate or dedicate flowers to loved ones for either the main altar or side chapel, please contact the Church office (office@sjs.net )
