PAYMENT FOR THE POINSETTIAS. If you signed up to sponsor poinsettias and have not submitted your payment yet please do so, so we can reconcile this expense. Please mark the memo line on your check and envelope as "poinsettias" so the proper fund is credited. The cost is $7.50 per plant.

 
THE NEW ALTAR FLOWERS CHART FOR 2020 has been posted on the narthex bulletin board. Cost is $25. Please be sure to note on your contribution envelope and on your check's memo line that the donation is for "altar flowers". This helps us to keep track and to ensure that it goes toward defraying altar flower costs.
