There are a few ways that you can purchase poinsettias "in honor of" or "in memory of" a loved one. An order form insert will be in this Sunday's bulletin and can be returned to the offering plate or the church office accompanied by your check (payable to DUMC with notation “poinsettias”). If you are at the church during the week, you can come by Madison Rubottom's office with your check and have her reserve your poinsettias. If you would prefer to sign-up online, here is the link to the poinsettia sign-up genius.

This year, we have a limited number of poinsettias. If you would like to purchase and reserve your poinsettias, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you
