Whether you come to Grace weekly or live far away and are loosely connected to this faith community, you are invited to sponsor Sunday flowers – a beautiful way to give thanks to God. People sponsor flowers for many reasons: for blessings, past and present; in memory of beloved friends and family, in thanksgiving; in celebration; to honor a person or commemorate an event.
We acknowledge each sponsorship in the Sunday bulletins – according to the wording provided by the sponsors.
The cost to sponsor the flower arrangements is approximately $30.00. Golden Rose Florists in Sandusky will directly bill you. If you have any questions, please call the church office at (419) 625-6919 or email office@gracesandusky.org.
There are two ways to sign up to sponsor the flowers:
