How do you become a sponsor?

There are several convenient options…

Complete the information requested in the Altar

Flower Notebook (located on the table next to the

Sacristy by the front doors). Place your payment in

one of the envelopes in the notebook and put in the

Flower Guild box on the bottom row of the parish

mailboxes.

Go to www.stdavidchurch.org. Click on “Giving”,

then “Altar Flowers”. Fill out the online form and

click “Submit”. Print out a copy of the completed

form and place with your check in the Flower

Guild box on the bottom row of the parish

mailboxes

Stop by the church office where the staff will be

happy to assist you.

What happens to the flowers after the

Sunday services?

The flowers are removed from the Nave by the Flower

Ambassadors, divided into small arrangements and

delivered to members of our parish who are in a time of

need, celebrating a birth, and those who cannot attend

worship regularly. In other words, the gift of sponsoring

Altar Flowers joyfully touches individuals, members of

our parish, and the community.

What is the cost?

The donation for sponsoring the altar flowers for a

specific Sunday is at a minimum of $75.00 per family/

individual. NOTE: More than one family can sign up

for each Sunday. You may sponsor more than one

Sunday. These honorariums, remembrances, and

thanksgivings are acknowledged in the Sunday bulletin.

Our expectation is that we will have your payment in

hand by Monday before your Sunday dedication. All

donations are tax-deductible.

Why should you sponsor Altar Flowers?

Sponsoring the Altar Flowers is a beautiful way to honor

loved ones. Flowers are often given to mark special life

events such as birth and birthdays; anniversary of a

wedding, baptism, confirmation; or memory of a loved

one; or a thanksgiving for life’s blessings.

What role does the St. David’s Flower

Guild play?

The Flower Guild selects, purchases, and arranges the

altar flowers. As part of the Flower Guild ministry, its

members pray for the individuals for which the flowers

are given as well as the sponsoring individuals or

families. Our expectation is that we will have your

payment in hand by Monday before your Sunday

dedication. All donations are tax-deductible.

SPONSORING ALTAR FLOWERS

...to honor loved ones

The Mission of Saint

David’s Episcopal Church is to restore all people to

unity with God and

each other in Christ. (BCP pg. 855)

St. David’s Flower Guild is responsible for

all of the beautiful flower arrangements in

the church. Funds for these come solely

from donations made as memorials for

loved ones or in celebration of special

occasions. Even during Lent, when no

flowers are used, you may now make your

dedications and donations for one of the

Sundays. On “Flower Sunday,” the first

Sunday after Easter, all of these dedications

will be published in the bulletin.

What about Christmas and

Easter Flowers?

The flowers and greenery for Christmas and Easter and

other special services are made possible by generous

donations from parishioners. The Flower Guild budget

for Christmas and Easter decorations is based solely on

donations, with a minimum of $50.00. Approximately

six weeks prior to each of these great feasts, donation

forms are printed in The Illumination to be

completed along with your check, and placed in the

Flower Guild box on the bottom row of the mailboxes

or mailed to the church office. NOTE: Donations can

be made at any time during the year, either in the Altar

Flower Notebook, or on the website: “Giving,” then

“Easter Flowers,” or “Christmas Flowers”. Fill out the

online form and click “Submit”. Print out the

completed form and place with your check in the

Flower Guild mailbox. All donations are tax-

deductible.
