Flower Ministry Team

The Flower Ministry breaks down the Sunday Worship floral arrangements into smaller arrangements which are available for members and staff to take and give to anyone who is ill, in need of encouragement, or celebrating something special.



To be part of the team is a once-a-month commitment of 30 minutes to an hour after the 10:30 worship service.  Working in small teams, it is a creative, fun way to connect with new people.  No special skills required.



If you are interested in joining the team, contact Nancy Kocurek, 512-799-2640.
