DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL SOMEONE HERE AT CHURCH? SEND THEM SOME CANDY OR FLOWERS TO SHOW THEM YOU CARE! FEBRUARY FLOWER/CANDY DELIVERY To help offset the costs of the upcoming Ladies Retreat, we are asking for your participation in our Valentine fundraiser. We would like to deliver candy and / or flower (s) to a special person of your choice during the month of February. We will be accepting orders to deliver candy/flower(s) the following Sunday. A note card will be available for you to personalize your delivery and the cost is $1.50/carnation - $2.25/rose - $1.50/candy bar If the person you are sending a flower(s) to is not at Sunday School the following week when we deliver We will make every attempt to see that they receive their flower/card from you the following week. We have been very lucky that the flowers have kept very well in order for us to deliver. If it is a candy bar that you are sending and they are not in Sunday School we will put it in the refrigerator with their name on it and try to redeliver it the following week. We will be doing the bulk of our sales by orders, but we will have some limited items for same day cash and carry. If you have any questions/concerns/ideas please call Alice Staats 717-252-1758.
