dedicate christmas flowers
This Advent season, deck the halls of our church with flowers in honor or memory of your loved ones. Annually, a substantial part of the Chancel Guild’s budget to decorate the church throughout the year comes from gifts given at Christmas and Easter dedicated to loved ones. To contribute to the fund used to decorate the church, a paper form is available in the bulletin each week, or you may fill it out online below. Please submit your form by December 15. Names will be listed in the December 22 bulletin.
