Flower Guild at First Presbyterian

Preparing sacred spaces with beauty and care

Beauty in Worship: The Ministry of the Flower Guild

The Flower Guild of First Presbyterian Church has, since its founding in the late 1970s, faithfully offered their creativity and devotion to enrich our worship through beauty. What began as a small group of dedicated members has grown into a beautiful and purposeful ministry, where arrangements are lovingly created each week for the Sanctuary, Chapel, and special services. Through memorials, honoraria, and the hands of both seasoned and new members, each arrangement becomes an expression of faith and a gift to the congregation.

Beyond Sunday worship, the Flower Guild extends care to those who are hospitalized, grieving, or celebrating life’s milestones, embodying Christ’s love through quiet acts of service. Today, under thoughtful leadership, the Guild continues to bring beauty, order, and intentionality to our spaces, reminding us that worship engages not only our hearts and minds, but also our senses.

We are deeply grateful for the Flower Guild and the many ways they help create an atmosphere of reverence and joy, pointing us to the beauty of God in every season.

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.” — Luke 12:27

“I am so excited about these media and technology upgrades because they give us new ways to reach our congregation and the wider community more effectively than ever before. These tools help us remove barriers, strengthen our connections, and create opportunities for everyone to grow in faith together. My hope is that this next phase of renewal in our church will equip us to serve God and our neighbors with greater creativity, accessibility, and impact.”

- Rev. Mark Curtis, Senior Pastor
