The 2008 Flower Chart is on the narthex notice board. Dedicating altar flowers in remembrance of a loved one or in celebration of a special event, for instance, is a wonderful way to show their/its significance in your life. The suggested donation for a dedication is $35 (this suggested amount has been stable for several years and when all donations are added together for the whole year, the total covers the total cost of all the flowers purchased in that year).
To have a dedication, you simply sign your name on the flower chart and the Parish Secretary will contact you regarding the wording of your dedication. More than one person/family can sign up for any Sunday.
Thank you from the Altar Guild.
Anyone wishing to be a server for the coming year should meet with Marjorie Myton immediately after the 10:30 am service today. If you are youth, please attend with a parent.
