The Flower Guild was founded in 1986 by Peggy Gifford and Linda Clement. It's purpose is to enhance the cross and adorn the sanctuary with beautiful arrangements of greens and flowers. On Easter and Christmas, the whole church may be decorated with plants and flowers.

Guild members work in pairs with responsibility for purchasing and arranging the flowers, polishing the brass containers and cleaning the Guild room. At the end of services, Guild members take the arrangements apart and rearrange them for delivery to the ill and bereaved, or those confined to their homes or hospital. Those involved in this ministry find it very fulfilling to create a beautiful arrangement to share with the congregation and can expect to participate four times a year.

No specific talents are required to become a member of the Flower Guild other than a love of flowers and an interest in flower arranging.

Flower Memorials

Once a year, the Flower Guild solicits donations for its ministry of beautifying the sanctuary with arrangements of flowers and greens for the Sunday services. Donations are used by the Flower Guild to cover the cost of plant material, to purchase supplies and containers and to cover the cost of training its members in the art of flower arranging. Contributions are usually designated by the donors to be in memory of deceased loved ones or in celebration of important events. The loved ones remembered or events celebrated are listed in the Sunday bulletin and remembered in the prayers of that day. At any other time during the year, flower memorials may be made by contacting the church office. A minimum donation of $30.00 is suggested.
