Flower Arranging Group

​

---

The beautiful flower arrangements in the church are created by volunteers who kindly give up part of their Friday afternoons to put together the arrangement at the front of the church.   These are at their best on Sunday morning but last throughout the week.    Without them the church would look a good deal less beautiful so we can only thank them for their time and efforts.

One of our most experienced flower arrangers has agreed to teach anyone who would like to join the flower arranger group where things are in the vestry, where to buy flowers from, and if needed a quick lesson on how best to arrange the flowers.    

If you would like to become one of our flower arrangers please let Leonora know on pa@stmaryabbots.org.uk and she will send you the expense form (flower buying expenses up to a set amount can be claimed from the Parish office), and add you to the rota.   Flowers are not arranged during Christmas as the crib is in the flower stand area.   
We would also like to give a huge thank the Flower Corner, based outside the entrance to the church, for all their generous arrangements that they provide for all our major festivals such as The Patronal Festival and Remembrance Sunday.   The church this year at Christmas looked particularly splendid with masses of poinsettias, large amounts of greenery on nearly every surface and a beautiful huge Christmas tree.
