For many of us, our holiday traditions include posing for a photo in front of our beautiful poinsettia tree. This year, we’ll help make those photos happen! On Sunday December 11 after worship, two of our Wesley Church photographers will be available in the atrium to take photos in front of the poinsettia tree. The images will be returned to you by Christmas, free of charge. No sign-ups needed! Just meet our photographers in the atrium after worship this Sunday.

Poinsettia Order Form
This year you can place your poinsettia order online using this form, or in person on Sunday morning.
You have the choice of either taking your plant home with you after the service or donating it to the Congregational Care Team and they will deliver those plants to our shut-ins and others struggling during this holiday season. Either way, the poinsettia(s) that you purchase will help brighten our sanctuary through Christmas!
The price per plant is $10.00. As in other years you may also make a donation to UMCOR in honor or memory of your loved ones.
If you are interested in purchasing a poinsettia to help decorate our sanctuary for the Advent/Christmas season, or in making a donation to UMCOR, please complete the registration by clicking on button below.
