Provide a Poinsettia for Prospect UMC

Each year, members of Prospect UMC purchase poinsettias to help decorate the sanctuary for the Christmas season. On Christmas Eve, those individuals who purchased the beautiful flowers have the opportunity to take their plants home to enjoy with their families and friends. The cost is $10 per plant, and those interested may sign up from November 24 through December 8 using the sheet on the altar table in the gathering area.

Altar Flowers

Speaking of Flowers...

Have you ever noticed the colorful flower arrangements on the altar each Sunday? Those flowers are provided through the generosity of our congregation. If you'd like to order altar flowers to recognize a birthday, anniversary, or any other important date — or if you just want to help out — please sign up on the flower chart in the outer office. Then, simply write a check for $18 payable to PUMC with a note that it's for altar flowers and place it in the offering plate; we'll take care of the rest!

Photos Needed

Prospect UMC's historian, Helen Lewis, is compiling this year's album and could use your help. If you have pictures from any of the events we've held so far in 2013, please share them with her. She especially is in need of photos from our youth activities. If you have files you think she could use, please email her.
