The purpose of the Sanctuary Guild is to worship and glorify God by preserving the heritage and traditions of the Presbyterian Church through the decoration of our facilities and worship spaces to appropriately reflect the liturgical seasons of the year.  The guild also assists other church committees with selected celebrations and events.
