Emmanuel's Flower Ministry presents a wonderful opportunity to glorify God, to celebrate and remember, and to bless the people in our church family and local community. Flower arrangements can be sponsored in memory of a loved one, to commemorate a happy event, or simply as a gift to the church family. When you sponsor the flowers, you will be given the opportunity to suggest a colour scheme, and to write a short message of dedication to be featured in the weekly Lamp Post.

I came to faith in my teens through outstanding youth work, and it changed the direction of my whole life. That’s why these roles are so important to me personally, and to our
