FLOWER MEMORIALS STILL AVAILABLE!
Looking for a special way to honor or remember a loved one? Sponsoring altar flowers is a beautiful gesture that adds meaning to our worship and brings joy to others. With a donation of $45 per memorial, your dedication will be included in the bulletin, and after the service, the flowers are delivered to our homebound members to help brighten their day. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Upcoming dates still available include: July 6, 13, and 20; August 17 (two memorials available) and 31. *While most dates have just one flower memorial left to sponsor, we warmly welcome additional dedications to be included in the bulletin for any of the Sundays listed above - or even on dates not listed. Thank you for all your generosity! To reserve your date, please contact Angie at 810-985-9539 or email secretary@graceporthuron.net. We’d love to help you share love and remembrance in this meaningful way.
