Orders will be taken again this year for poinsettias to decorate the church for Christmas.
The poinsettias are $11.00 and will be ordered and delivered to the church for you. All you have to do is sign the paper on the table in the back of the church and put the money or a check made out to Anamosa Floral in the brown envelope by Sunday, December 13th.
If you want the poinsettia in honor or in memory of someone, you can indicate that on the paper, and that will be noted in the bulletin on Christmas Eve.
As in years past, you are welcome to purchase your own poinsettias, if you prefer. Those can be brought to the church anytime after Sunday, December 20th.
Beginning November 21st the Giving Tree will be displayed in the narthex. This tree is decorated with tags that have clothing gift ideas for young children in our area.
