Altar Flowers

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:

  • Fill out the form below or
  • Call the church office at (419) 625-6919

Do you wish to sponsor these flowers every year on or around a specific date?(required)
