Altar Flower Dedications

In the Episcopal Church, we have a tradition of offering flowers at the altar every Sunday, except in the seasons of Advent and Lent when we are in expectant and penitential moods. Every other Sunday is festive and we observe it by offering Christ and each other the gift of beauty from creation.

Members of the congregation sponsor altar flowers, chapel flowers, and the sanctuary light in thanksgiving for all the blessings of this life or in memory of loved ones. At Christmas, we celebrate with poinsettias, and at Easter with lilies. The flowers are arranged by our Flower Guild, and the donors are acknowledged in the Sunday bulletin.

Anyone can sponsor flowers at any time. Use the form below to name the occasion you wish to celebrate. If you like to plan ahead, you can sign up for flowers that will be displayed later in the year.
