In Honor/Memory Of… A beautiful way to honor someone currently
living or to memorialize someone who has passed away is to purchase a palm or an Easter lily in their name. These lilies and palms will be used to decorate the church sanctuary during Holy Week and the Easter season. If you wish, you may take them home with you after the Easter Sunday service. Lilies are $8 and palms are $15. To purchase either a palm or lily, simply use one of the offering envelopes from the pews, or our online giving page, and indicate whether it will be "in honor of" or "in memory of", clearly printing the person's name. Deadline for ordering palms and lilies will be March 13.
Interested in Being Baptized? If you have never been baptized before and are interested in being baptized on Easter Sunday, please contact the church office to set up an appointment to meet with Pastor Estep.
