2010 Flower Donations This is a reminder that we still have some Sundays available for flower donations for 2010. You will find the flower chart on the bulletin board next to the kitchen. The fresh flowers that we purchase to decorate the church run approximately $70 per week. The suggested donation is $35, and we suggest that two people share a week. Following the service on Sundays, the flowers are often taken to shut-ins at area nursing homes when volunteers are available to do so. If you would like to donate the flowers for a specific week, envelopes are available next to the chart. Fill out the front of the envelope with the date you would like to donate flowers, what they are given in memory of or in thanks of, and include a check for the appropriate amount. Then put the check in the Secretary’s mail box.
