POINSETTIAS AVAILABLE

The ten poinsettias on the platform are available for adoption at this time, and you may take your flower home after the service on Sunday, December 26. You can adopt a flower in honor or in memory of a loved one. We will recognize that designation by placing a card in the planter and printing the name(s) in our announcements the following Sunday morning, January 2. We are receiving donations to replenish our benevolence fund, which is used to assist church family members and others in times of need. We suggest a donation of $25 per plant (mark your check or envelope “Poinsettia”), but the flowers are available regardless of your ability to donate or the amount you donate. Please see Jonathan or Pastor Terry for more details.
