Donating altar flowers is a simple way to honor a loved one, glorify God, and beautify the altar. You can choose any Sunday and include a description of who you would like to dedicate your flowers to. It can be done in honor of a person or in memory of someone, in celebration of an anniversary or other milestone, or in thanksgiving for friends or family. Their names will appear in the bulletin on the Sunday you select. If you prefer, you can simply give the flowers to the Glory of God.

ROOM IN THE INN Our congregation continues to support this important ministry, at Dale House, the first and third Thursday evening of February and March. Volunteers arrive early to make up beds, set out towels and toiletries for each neighbor, and set the tables for dinner. The following day we serve them breakfast and pack a lunch to take with them.
