The palms are for Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And the purple, the color of royalty is a reference to Christ the King. The variety of purples and the black lettering remind us of the pain, suffering and passion that we remember as we pray during this season. Bordering the banner is the color of white that represents the anticipation of the Easter season. Easter Flowers Fowers really contribute to the beauty and sacredness of our Church on Easter Sunday. Donations for Easter Flowers can be given to Anne Oakes. If the donation is in memory or in honor of individuals, please include a written notation of how you wish it to appear in the Easter bulletin on March 27. All are encouraged to help to decorate our Church as we celebrate and glorify our Risen Lord.
