SUMMARY:Poinsettia Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Poinsettia Dedications: Celebrate Christmas with a Gift of Beauty and Meaning \nAs we prepare our hearts and our worship spaces for the wonder of Christmas\, you are invited to take part in a cherished tradition that brings both beauty and remembrance to our Christmas Eve services. Poinsettia Dedications are a meaningful way to honor loved ones\, remember those who have passed\, or offer a gift “To the Glory of God” during this sacred season. \nEach dedication is $15 and includes a beautiful poinsettia displayed throughout our Christmas Eve worship. These vibrant plants brighten our sanctuary and represent the love\, gratitude\, and faith of our church family. You can choose to dedicate a poinsettia In Memory of someone dear\, In Honor of a special person or group\, or To the Glory of God. Your dedication becomes part of our collective celebration of hope\, light\, and the birth of Christ. \nYour dedication will be included in our Christmas Eve materials so that your tribute can be shared with the congregation as we gather in worship. Many families find this tradition meaningful year after year because it provides an opportunity to pause\, reflect\, and offer something beautiful in the spirit of Christmas. \nMaking a dedication is simple. Just complete the online form using the link below: \nMake a dedication > \nYou are welcome to dedicate multiple poinsettias if you wish. After Christmas Eve services\, you may take home your poinsettia or leave it to be shared with members of our community as a gesture of care. \nFor more information or assistance with your dedication\, please contact Daniel Cho. Our team is happy to help. \nJoin us in filling our worship space with color\, warmth\, and love this Christmas. Your dedication is more than a plant; it is a symbol of remembrance\, celebration\, and the joy we share in this holy season.
