Altar Flowers
A new 2014 altar flower chart is located on the window near the front office door. You are invited to write-in names of those youd like to honor or memorialize throughout this coming year. You will be reminded by postcard that your Sunday is coming up and to place a $25 check in the offering plate to cover cost of the flowers, which you will then be able to take home following the service. There are several dates still open for January 2014. Please call Shorty Yost, 842-4132 or the church office if you have questions.
