The Immanuel Flower Guild assists in the worship of the parish by providing and preparing flowers or greens at the altar and occasionally in other places in and outside the church building for all Sunday services, Holy Days and other special occasions.  Only natural materials are used.

Exercising this ministry, members of the Immanuel Flower Guild strive to be sensitive to the setting for which the flowers will be in offering:  the liturgical occasion, the day and season, the particular color of the hangings and vestments, the content of the readings of Holy Scripture and the parts of the church building and/or grounds (altar, font, choir loft, churchyard gate, front doors, etc.) which will be a focus of the particular service.

Members of the Immanuel Flower Guild are responsible for all aspects of selecting materials and containers, the arrangement,  placement, maintenance, and eventual removal of offerings during their week of duty.  We maintain a varied collection of containers.

The Immanuel Flower Guild also has discerned and answered a call to be a resource to the rest of the diocese for inspiration and guidance.  Members are invited by the chair and appointed by the Rector.
