The altar flowers are
sponsored by individuals in
honor or celebration of a loved
one living or deceased, and as
well are given to the Glory of
God. It has been brought to
our attention, several times,
that the arrangements are not
up to par. After discussion with our florist, she can
provide a better quality of flowers, but the cost will
be higher. We hope this will be appreciated by the
congregation, and this is the first rise in price in a
very long time. Starting in October, the cost of Altar
Flowers will increase from $15.00 per vase to
$25.00. You can still sponsor one or two arrangements, as you wish. There will also be a new procedure for ordering flowers. A list will be submitted to
the Florist on a monthly basis, so if you are ordering
flowers for October, the cut-off will be September
30th. You can place and order by calling the church
office with your request or sending an email to Maria
at mragonese@esumc.net or Mike Corey at
mcorey@esumc.net. On the weeks where no one
is sponsoring flowers, our beautiful silk arrangements will adorn the Altar. Many thanks for your
cooperation in this transition.
