Celebration and Memorial Flowers

Don’t forget there is always the opportunity to gift the flowers on the Oak Chest in memory of a loved one or to celebrate an anniversary/birthday. Sitting on the Oak Chest as they do these special flowers are the first thing people see on entering the church.

A perfect example of this opportunity is the basket of flowers on the Oak Chest at the moment which were donated by Su Gordon in memory of her parents, Dot and Harry Dyas whom I believe many of you will remember.
