Other Ways to Serve
Flower & Candle Chart
The current year’s Flower and Candle Chart is on the bulletin board in the Narthex. There are many dates available to honor loved ones and special occasions. The floral arrangements are ordered by the individual(s).
Please take time to review the available dates as a way of honoring a loved one’s birthday or anniversary. A donation to the candle fund may be done by filling out the date on the Candle Chart and either mailing your donation to the church office or placing in the offering plate. Be sure to include your name, date and the occasion. Your donation to this fund goes toward the purchase of oil for the candles.
