Spring Flowers for Easter Sunday
|
Members and friends of Our Savior's are invited to bring a plant to add to the beauty of our Easter worship services. Plants may be given in thanks for the life of a loved one, in honor of someone, in celebration of blessings received, and/or to the Glory of God.
Plants to consider: azaleas, mums, hydrangeas, tulips, daffodils.
Lilies are beautiful, but some report allergic reactions and have asked us to encourage alternatives.
Please deliver plants to the Conference Room during Holy Week by 11:30am on Friday, April 19.
Forms will be available in the EveryOne Pages on Sunday, or you may click
HERE
to print a copy.
If you want your dedication to be published, please return the form to the office by Sunday, April 14.
You are welcome to come and pick up your plant to take it home on April 23.
