Altar Guild Prayer

Dear God in heaven,
who has graciously revealed thyself unto us through Thy Son,
we thank Thee that Thou hast given us the privilege of worshipping Thee in this Thy church.
We are especially humbled because Thou hast chosen us to attend to affairs of Thy worship,
to care for Thy Holy Altar and the vessels
employed in the administration of Thy Holy Sacraments.
Grant as we busy ourselves in these tasks
that we might be properly reverent and respectful toward this holy place,
that none of our thoughts or deeds might subtract from Thy glory.
Allow us to become examples for all who worship Thee,
that together we might worthily bring our love and our praises before Thy throne of grace.
We pray in the name of Thy beloved Son, Christ Jesus
who gave Himself for us upon the cross,
that we might give our lives unto Thee.
Amen
