Ministry Groups
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” - John 20:21Ministry Groups
Outreach and in-reach ministries provide opportunities to share the love of Christ and practice looking beyond yourself to the people around you while you connect with and serve your community. You don’t need to be part of a group to serve God and others. You can simple start by sharing whatever you have to offer with your neighbor. However, St. Edward’s offers a variety of ministry groups that encourage fellowship within and beyond the church campus.

Altar and Flower Guilds
The Altar Guild is a ministry of quiet service that helps prepare our worship space for each service. Members care for the altar, prepare the sacred vessels and linens, and assist with setup and cleanup before and after worship. Serving on a rotating schedule, this ministry offers a meaningful way to support the worship life of the parish.
Adults who feel called to this ministry are warmly welcomed.

The Flower Guild enhances our worship through the beauty of floral arrangements that adorn the church throughout the year. Members create arrangements for Sunday services and special liturgical celebrations, helping to reflect the seasons and holy days of the Church. Service is shared on a rotating schedule, and all are welcome to participate.
