In Honor/Memory Of

A beautiful way to honor someone currently living or to memorialize someone who has passed away is to purchase a palm or an Easter lily in their name. These lilies and palms will be used to decorate the church sanctuary during Holy Week and the Easter season. If you wish, you may take them home with you after the Easter Sunday service. Lilies are $8 and palms are $15. To purchase either a palm or a lily, simply use one of the offering envelopes from the pews, and indicate whether it will be "in honor of" or "in memory of", clearly printing the person's name. Deadline for ordering palms & lilies will be nextSunday, March 22.
