Flower Committee

St Mary’s has a team of 16 dedicated and willing ladies who give their time and talents to keep the church looking beautiful with fresh flowers at all times throughout the year.

The flowers make an impact when entering the church and add a welcoming atmosphere which is important as part of our worship and praise.

Special displays are always in place for the Christmas and Easter celebrations and particularly during the church’s open season - May to the end of September.

The Committee is grateful to members of the congregation who sponsor arrangements on many Sundays to remember a loved one or to celebrate a special memory. Our teams are also happy to plan and create flowers for other occasions such as weddings, funerals and concerts.

Flower Festival 2007

The summer Flower Festival had the theme "Let's Celebrate" - anniversaries and events interpreted in 30 magnificent displays.

A big vote of thanks is due to all the people who contributed time and effort to put on such a magnificent display of flowers.  Thanks too are due to the sponsors of the event and all those who put in extra hours at what was an exceptionally busy time for our church.

In addition to the flowers, there was a display of crafts for sale, which were made by the Crafty Folk, and there was also a steady stream of visitors enjoying the refreshments and home baking.

The Flower Festival raised a total of £3082.84 for church funds.
