The Worship Board is making plans for our church’s Easter Celebration, and we are once again planning to adorn the sanctuary with flowers.
If you wish to purchase a flower, we ask that you either sign up on the sheet provided at the back of the sanctuary or call the church office (235-5382) to order.
The plants will be in 6-inch pots with wrap and a bow.
The cost will be:
$18 for an Easter lily
$18 for a Cyclamen
$40 for a Hydrangea
You can either drop payment in the offering plate or mail to the church (319 Downtown Plaza, Fairmont, MN 56031). Be sure to indicate with your payment your name & type of plant for which you are paying.
THE LAST DAY TO ORDER IS MARCH 17th (TODAY!)
We look forward to Easter and your gift of flowers!
