๐ Bible Verse
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." โ Colossians 3:23โ24

As Altar Servers, we first give thanks to our Lord for granting us the strength, courage, and opportunity to serve Him in His Holy Sanctuary. Serving at the altar is both a privilege and a responsibility that we carry with reverence and devotion.

Through these engagements, we strengthen our connection with the Church and grow spiritually as a community.
