Flowers for the Sanctuary

People enjoy having flowers decorate the sanctuary and marking the passage of loved ones, and having flowers enhances our worship. Flowers in the sanctuary includes flowers being placed on the retable (shelf behind altar) and elsewhere in the sanctuary.

Flowers are placed in the sanctuary for Christmas and Easter, and a note will go in the Sunday bulletin listing who they are given in memory of and who they are from.

To donate money for flowers, use the Flower/Altar Guild donation envelope that is in the narthex cabinet (entrance of the building).

Flowers will be ordered based on donations received by Advent 2 for Christmas or Lent 3 for Easter; click on Upcoming Events for the dates of Advent 2 (December) and Lent 3 (March).

Later donations will be accepted until 9:00 am of the Wednesday prior to Christmas Eve or Easter Vigil respectively, and a note will be listed in the bulletin.

At other times of the year, except for Lent, people may place flowers in the sanctuary either from their own garden or they may purchase them. People are responsible for taking care of their flowers, disposing of them, and washing the vases.

To place flowers, people must contact the church office, talk with the Admin Assistant, provide the date and if they wish to have an announcement put in the bulletin, the text.

Placing of flowers will be done on a first come, first served basis.
