The Flower Guild Wants You

Have you ever wanted to learn flower arranging? Or maybe you already have the knack. The ECR Flower Guild would love to have a couple more members who would help to do flowers for the altar, and for special days.

Contact Ann Harrington for more information regarding how to get connected at [email protected]  
Red for Pentecost


Remember to wear red, orange or yellow on May 24th for Pentecost, if you can, to symbolize the tongues of fire, and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
