Easter flowers
[Sam Hallas]
As mentioned elsewhere in the magazine this is a much-appreciated ministry and has involved many different people over the years. At the May Church Meeting it became apparent that it would be helpful to explain what currently happens and give everyone the opportunity to be involved, if so desired. (It is recognised that changes may need to be made in the near future but for now…):
Each week one person buys the flowers and arranges them for the communion table (or pedestal if it is a Communion Sunday). A rota is in place for this. (Special event Sundays are organised differently - e.g. Easter)
The flowers are separated into two or three bunches after the service and delivered to folk connected in some way with the church who have a particular need (bereavement, illness, etc.) or in celebration (wedding anniversary, birth etc.) This is usually co-ordinated by Sue.
Donations for the purchase of the flowers are made by a number of people who have asked for flowers (sometimes specifying colour/ variety) for a particular occasion (remembering a loved one who has died, an anniversary, a birthday etc.) The Sunday nearest to their request is allocated to them.
Please let me know if you:
and I will add you to the appropriate list and give you further information if needed. In time the Church Administrator will take on this co-ordinator role.
