EASTER LILIES & Easter Flowers

We would appreciate a donation of £4 per lily.

If you would like a lily placed in church at Easter in memory of a departed loved one, please put the money and name of the person, together with your name, into an envelope and give it to Jenny. The names of all those remembered will be displayed in church on the  Paschal candle.

Easter Flowers.

We would also be grateful to receive donations towards the cost of the flowers.  This money should also be given to Jenny.

We need to know how much money has been donated before we can order any flowers, as money for flowers is never taken from church funds.

All flowers will be arranged in vases this year – apart from those in the Easter Garden.
