ANNUAL POINSETTIA PROJECT
The Christian Fellowship Choir of FBCH is sponsoring its annual Poinsettia Project to beautify the sanctuary for Christmas! The plants will be displayed on Sunday, December 22nd and will be available in red or white at a cost of $15 per plant. The poinsettias may be purchased “In Memory of” or “In Honor of” individuals. When placing your order, you may also designate that the plant be given to a Sick and Shut-In member. The plants should be removed from the Sanctuary after the Morning Worship Service on Sunday, December 22nd. Orders will be taken in the William D.
