PRAYER GARDEN BOX This is a reminder about our beautiful handmade

prayer box located in the garden behind the Historic Sanctuary. Guests are invited to take a

prayer request from the box, pray over the request, and then return it to the box. You may

also write your own requests and leave them for others who will pray for them. The prayer box is for everyone to use. The garden is always

open, and God is always there.

Altar Flowers

The Altar Flowers in the Sanctuary today are given to the Glory of God and in celebration of all our fathers,

from the United Methodist Women.
