"VIRTUAL" EASTER LILIES
LILY

Beautiful, white lilies appeal to your senses of sight and smell as they adorn the sanctuary of BTPC each Easter. And no fear - we will have lilies again this year. The Worship Ministry Team will make certain that the sanctuary is tastefully decorated with these flowers that we have come to love. It has been a BTPC tradition that congregation members buy lilies each year to beautify the church, and recently, with a portion of the proceeds going to support PCHAS.

 

This year, we want to change things up and appeal to your sense of hearing and generosity. Therefore, we ask you to purchase "virtual lilies", with the funds going to help purchase new sound equipment, in order to enhance our worship experience. You may purchase a "virtual lily" for $15 in memory or in honor of a loved one, using the forms provided in the bulletin or from an usher. Lists of the names of both those being remembered and honored and also those providing the lily will be printed in the bulletin, as always, with a picture of a lily. There will be less lilies in reality, but soon we will be able to enjoy better sound quality in the sanctuary, and that gift will last all year and into the future.

Thank you for your real support of our virtual lilies!
