Flower Committee

The flower committee arranges flowers for Sunday worship services and also beautifies the santuary with seasonal flowers and greenery for holidays such as Christmas. We can provide flowers for memorial services and other special events, including wedding flowers.

Committee meetings are scheduled as needed. We welcome new members and are happy to teach volunteers who would like to participate but are unsure of their skills. We also appreciate donations of flowers, greenery and help with cleanup.

Dedicate the Sunday Flowers to a special person or event

Donating the Sunday podium flowers is a wonderful way to honor or remember a special person or to celebrate an event such as a birthday or anniversary. Your gift will be noted in the order of service. You may provide them yourself but our suggestion is to let us obtain and arrange them for you. Our price will include a reasonable arranging fee that is a fund-raiser.

Sign up in the sanctuary or contact Debra Burrell (chair_flower@uucbham.org) if you're interested in donating the Sunday flowers.

Flowers for Weddings and Other Special Services

The flower committee raises funds by arranging flowers for simple weddings, memorial services and other events. Contact Debra Burrell (chair_flower@uucbham.org) or another member of the flower committee for details.

Here are a few of the flowers we did for a recent wedding. Many thanks to Kim Spidell, who created the boutonnieres and corsages, and to Laurie Hicks, who decorated the cake with fresh edible flowers.

Our usual Sunday schedule is:

1st Sunday: Linda Barnes (odd-numbered months, January, etc.)
& Steve Gilbert (even-numbered months, February, etc.)

2nd Sunday: Debra Burrell
