Church of the Good Shepherd has a tradition of decorating our altar and chancel area with beautiful poinsettias at Christmas time. We are pre-selling 6″ potted red poinsettias for $17, each to be used in the sanctuary for services beginning Sunday, December 17th.
Plants may be picked up at church after the 9pm Christmas Eve service on Sunday, December 24th. The remaining plants will be donated for delivery by our team of volunteers to more home-bound church members.
To order, visit our table after church services on November 19th, November 26th, and December 3rd.
