Help Decorate the Sanctuary for Easter Sunday
The Easter lily is the symbol of the resurrection. With its trumpet shape, it sounds
out the Good News of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter morning. Help us decorate
our altar this year by making a donation of $13.00. We will have lilies delivered to
the church and then you may take one home with you after the Easter morning
worship service.
Simply write a check for $13.00 and mark it for “Easter Lily”. Put your check in the offering plate or leave it in
the church office.
You have the opportunity to share a lily in honor or memory of a loved one by adding that information with
your donation. A list of people for whom the lilies have been dedicated will be available on Easter Sunday.
