    EMHC Procedures

  • The Flower Ministry is a group of dedicated and devoted volunteers who have the responsibility for the arranging and placement of flowers for regular worship and special liturgies/events within the church. No special skills are necessary to be part of the Flower Ministry – only a desire to learn, and a love for reverently arranging natural beauty. Led by a floral designer, the Flower Ministry is divided into teams. Teams serve on a rotation each month, being responsible for a particular Sunday. Teams are responsible for purchasing, prepping, arranging, decorating and adorning the church for the liturgy with gorgeous flower arrangements (costs are reimbursed by the parish).

    New members are always welcome, and can work alongside more experienced ministry members. The Flower Ministry is an ideal way for members of our parish to become involved in a ministry at St. Wenceslaus, particularly if members are unable to commit more than a few hours of their time every couple of months.

    Interested?
