Schedule of Altar Flower Sponsors

Click here to Sponsor Altar Flowers
Below you will find the master calendar showing who will be sponsoring the flowers on the altar in the sanctuary.  

Sponsor Altar Flowers

​If you would like to sponsor the flowers on the altar for a Sunday, please contact the church office.  When sponsoring the altar flowers, we ask for a $50 donation to cover the cost of the flowers for that week.  If you would like, we can place a message in the bulletin stating the flowers are either in loving memory of or in honor of someone or in honor of an anniversary, birthday or other event.  The message would read as, "The flowers on the altar are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of John Doe by Jane Doe."; "The flowers on the altar are given to the glory of God and in honor of John Doe's 50th birthday by Jane Doe and Family."  These messages will appear on the back of our worship bulletin for the 10:45am traditional worship service.

​Please note, on certain holidays, the Altar Guild places special arrangements on the altar and these Sundays would not be available to sponsor.
​I.E. Palm Sunday - Palms on the altar, Easter Sunday - Easter lilies placed on the altar, Christmas - Poinsettias placed on the altar the Sunday before Christmas and Christmas Eve.

Altar Flower Delivery

The Stout Memorial Altar Flower Ministry is looking for smiling
faces who will be willing to deliver Sunday flowers. Easy to
do, just follow these directions before delivering.
  1. Following 10:45 worship, go to altar to remove the silver vase liner in each brass urn. Please avoid touching brass urn and getting water on altar area.
  2. Carry silver liner & flowers to basement kitchen.
  3. At sink, with strainer basket inserted in drain, pour water off flowers. Make sure any excess foliage doesn't go down drain. Instead toss it in trash basket nearby.
  4. From wooden wall cabinets remove a contact covered juice can. Add few inches water. Insert flowers in can. If the can is "too empty" combine both arrangements so they are stable and supported.
  5. Rinse silver vase liner & place on counter beside sink. Leave there to be used next week.
  6. Take a 3"x 4" copy paper stating "These flowers are from SMUMC" to present as you smile & deliver flowers. Also suggest that they add water to flowers.
  7. You may present flowers to anyone needing cheered. Perhaps you'll deliver to a caregiving facility, church member, friend, family. A Stout directory will be available if wish to contact a recipient before delivering.
  8. Please chart your action on the "Stout Altar Flower Ministry" paper posted at the welcome desk in the Gathering Space. Thanks!
​If questions, contact Donna Gault, Jane Kincheloe.
