Curious about what the 1U flower ministry has been up to? 

We recently celebrated out DLRE Judith’s first year with us at First Unitarian Church of Orlando! Mary D. presented her with a lovely bouquet.

Below are Jenny L. and Patty R. who deliver flowers from our church flower garden regularly to those who are at home recovering or otherwise in need of some cheerful flowers to remind them of all their friends at our church.

Colleen and Ray W. generously and regularly sign up and bring lovely arrangements for our Sunday services.  Here they are with flowers they brought for our 10/8 service.

Joy D. with gorgeous hydrangeas that she brought for our Sunday morning service.

Jean S. with a sunflower she helped grow in our church flower garden:

Katherine V. with flowers she brought for our Sunday Morning service.

Many thanks to our other flower volunteers who grow plants and make arrangements! Pics below are of flowers grown on our church campus and given to friends and members of our church.

A bouquet of blue salvia.

Would you like to sign up and help grow flowers or bring an arrangement on Sunday? You can come early to cut flowers from our church flower garden, bring a bouquet you grew at home, or bring a store bought bouquet.

You may honor a loved one having a birthday or a special occasion by giving flowers and having a dedication line read in the Joys and Concerns. For example, “The flowers today are given by Mary to celebrate the 70th birthday of my husband, John.” Sign up early if you want any specific date, as many dates are already taken!

Thank you, Cindy, for today’s pulpit flowers!

Would you like to volunteer to bring the flowers? You may honor a loved one having a birthday or a special occasion by giving flowers and having a dedication line read in the Joys and Concerns. For example, “The flowers today are given by Mary to celebrate the 70th birthday of my husband, John.” Sign up early if you want any specific date, as many dates are already taken!

You are welcome to get flowers from the church flower garden or from wherever you choose. We have vases you can use. You are welcome to take the flowers with you after the service — for yourself or to give to whomever.

We ask that you put the flowers in place 20 to 30 minutes before the service so that congregants can admire the flowers as they enter the church and are seated.

There are many other ways you can help with pulpit flowers and the flower garden. Read more here.
