Flowers for the Sanctuary

Anyone is welcome to place flowers in the Sanctuary during the year. You can dedicate flowers for a birthday, anniversary, special occasion, or just to say thinking of you.

Just sign your name on the date you want on the Flower Calendar hanging in the hallway by the narthex doors. Ellie Beals will contact you close to the chosen date to ask the type of flower arrangement you want, and any message for the bulletin. The cost of flowers starts at $20.00 and can go up from there if you choose.

Another way of giving flowers is to tell Ellie that you are bringing flowers for Sunday. They might simply be a floral arrangement from the grocery store that caught your eye. If you have a message to go with them, let Ellie know so that it can be placed in the weekly bulletin.

Let’s see if we can have flowers in our sanctuary every Sunday!

Fund Raising Policy

Here at Pilgrim Church we do support our youth and adults who wish to sell “Fund Raising” items for a church group or outside organization (such as Girl Scout cookies, Nashua High School subs, popcorn and wreaths for Scouts, etc.). Permission must be obtained for any fund raising event including those sponsored by school, athletic, civic & social organizations. All we ask is that you submit a “Request Form” to the church secretary, Kathy, who then submits it to the Cabinet, who then decide whether to allow the fund raising. You can submit your request for the year starting in September and running through June. To pick up a form, see Kathy in the church office.

Help Keep The Sanctuary Clean

The Diaconate requests that you not leave worship bulletins in the hymnals or pews and that you clean up any paper and litter around your area after worship. Look for the paper recycling box in the narthex. Thank you!
