Commemorative Flowers
We'd love some Fall/winter TGIF's, so call Jan Taylor if you would like to volunteer. A new program is starting this fall that will help you share exciting events in your life or to honor loved ones with the congregation. You provide flowers or a plant for a Sunday service and the Order of Service will note who is providing the arrangement and what is being commemorated.
All you need do, is e-mail
[email protected] with the date, name, phone, email info and your reason for providing the flowers. You will receive a reminder the week of your selected date.
This is not a replacement of the flower people, they will still provide for Sundays not spoken for.
