One of the bright spots of worship each Sunday morning is the fresh floral bouquet in the sanctuary. A new bouquet appears each week, thanks to those congregation members who sign up to sponsor the flowers. But after worship, those bouquets continue to brighten the day of others from the congregation who are not able to enjoy them in person – our members who are home-centered, facility-bound, ill, hospitalized, suffering a loss, or are otherwise experiencing hardship and in need of a bit of cheer. Flowers don’t magically get rearranged and transported to those receiving them. It takes a team working behind the scenes to organize and implement the flower deliveries each week and during holidays. We invite you to join in this incredible ministry of delivering cheer and joy.
Ways you can serve:
- Saturday mornings: Assist in making a flower arrangement once a month on a Saturday morning with Pat Cobb to guide you
- Sunday afternoons: Assist in breaking down the Altar Flowers into smaller bouquets for sharing with others once a month
- Sundays afternoons or Monday mornings: Deliver flower bouquets once a month
- Periodically serve as a back up team member when needed
No prior floral arranging experience is required! This is a great ministry opportunity for someone who works during the week and would like to serve for a couple of hours on the weekend once a month. When the altar flowers leave the church each week, they are more than something beautiful to look at. They are God’s love being delivered by those who are Christ’s hands, gladly bringing with them a bit of joy and connection!
