Murky History - not Fake News ☺

• Will's arrival occasioned the evolution of both the Altar Guild and Ushers as they now exist - coincident with the formation of the Congregation.
• Altar Guild - Marge Jones & Alice Phillips
• Ushers - migration from students to current mix.
• Rick, Russ, and GQ [1]

[1]The Gospel Quartet = the crucifer, two candlebearers, and the one who carries the Bible for the reading of the Gospel by one of the Lectors in the center aisle during the worship service
