Easter Flowers

Many years ago, the late Claudia Ansell began the tradition of our bringing flowers or flowering plants to the Easter Sunday worship service to brighten our sanctuary, and then taking the plants back home to plant or taking them to a nursing home. 

Let us continue this lovely tradition. Please come early enough on Easter Sunday to place your flowers or plants at the front of our sanctuary before the service begins.

If you are attending the April 20 service via Zoom, you are invited to go outside after the service to appreciate the spring flowers or to plant some flower seeds.  If you are not able to go outside, look out your window and see what signs of spring you notice.

For those who loved Claudia, let’s remember her with gratitude, and let us all be grateful for our community that encourages compassion to flower.
