Easter Saturday, 2009

Flower Guild members arrive at 8 am to start making the flower arrangements. We do the altar, Paschal Candle holder, lectern, windows, crucifer, font, narthex, back of the church, and front doors. We also adorn the statue along the sidewalk to the Parish Hall and inside the Parish Hall. People are seated in the Parish Hall when we over flow the seating in the Chapel. We have to get finished by 1 pm so the Altar Guild can arrive and do their work.
