About the Flower Ministry

                                          By Dorla Richards

It is a joy and blessing to share about our flower ministry. Twice monthly we take flowers to Hope Manor to our shutin sisters.We are sisters being all God's chrildren. These ladies just love to receive the flowers. There are times you can minister and pray for them and then there are times you just deliever the bud vases. I pray as I fix the vases and God just does the rest. Serving God is so rewarding and the ladies are so blessed. The flower ministry is so grateful to Bob and Kelly Helm of Lee's Wholesale Flowers who so loving donate the flowers to us so we can be such a blessing to others.

Love, Blessings and Prayers to all!
