ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Arthur Urdiales, in loving memory of his mother, Lydia Urdiales, whose birth date was 20 May, and to thank God for His many blessings.
A REMINDER OF GOD’S LOVE The additional bouquet of roses on the altar are from the more than 150 bushes on our church campus. They are a reminder to us of God’s love and constant provision for all our needs.
