Easter Flower Delivery

Spread the Joy! Easter Flower Delivery

Ever wonder what happens to the lovely flower arrangements after church every Sunday? After decorating the church, they go into a new ministry. Most weeks, a dedicated team of volunteers wraps up these arrangements and brings them to members of our parish family. Sometimes, the flowers go to longtime parishioners who cannot attend church. Volunteers also bring altar flowers to those who have recently lost loved ones. And, of course, flowers are sent home after baptisms, to help welcome the newly baptized into the parish family.

At Easter and Christmastide, these efforts multiply. Sending flowers to those who cannot be in church is a wonderful way to spread God’s love, and to let people know that they are still in our prayers, even when we don’t see them.

Would you like to be part of this effort?

On Easter Sunday, cards for flower delivery will be placed in baskets in the parish hall. The cards will include the name of the recipient, as well as the address and phone number. They will be sorted by ZIP code, to make it easier to find people in your neighborhood, or to find old friends will appreciate a visit.

Once you have selected a recipient, take their cards out of the basket. Head upstairs to the church, and select a plant for each recipient. Then give them a call, and let them know you are coming.

Please make sure you take the cards – this helps us ensure that everyone receives their flowers. There will be exactly one flower for each card – and vice versa. Be sure to share the good news of St. Paul’s, and of the Easter season, with each person that you visit. Flowers are a wonderful way to remind everyone of the resurrection.

If you know of someone who should receive a flower, please let the Rev. Michelle know so that she can be sure they are on the list. In addition, if you would like to deliver flowers on a more regular basis throughout the year, please contact Annette Shimer. Flower delivery is an important ministry to the people of St. Paul’s, and we could always use more volunteers.
