Flowers
Each week, the beauty of our altar flowers reminds us of God’s presence and the love we share as a faith community. Donating flowers in memory or in honor of a loved one is a heartfelt way to celebrate life’s milestones, remember those who have passed, or offer gratitude for blessings received.
Individuals or groups are welcome to contribute toward the weekly altar flowers—making it a shared act of generosity and remembrance. The recommended donation is $125 per week, which helps provide fresh arrangements that grace our worship space and uplift our congregation.
Your gift not only brings beauty to our altar, but also becomes a living tribute—an expression of love, remembrance, and faith shared with the entire church family. Sign-up sheet is located in the lobby. The recommended donation would be the full floral arrangement amount, but any and all donations would be gratefully accepted.
Altar Decoration

- Season: November – January
- Commitment:
- Recruit volunteers to help decorate the church for the season
- Recruit families to light the advent wreath at each service throughout the season.
