CATERPILLARS ARE ON SALE NOW!
A powerful symbol of resurrection, the butterfly is a mesmerizing creation that captures the beauty of God’s creative power. This year, you are invited to see for your own eyes this transformative power through purchasing caterpillars and raising them to butterflies for an Easter morning release! Don’t worry! It’s simple and plenty of instructions will be provided!
All Orders Must be Placed by Sunday, March 5th in order to have the butterflies at the proper stage for an Easter Morning Release! Order forms can be found in the Narthex.
Caterpillars will arrive to the church at the end of March or early April. You will be notified when they are ready for pick up and your prompt response to pick up is necessary as these are live animals and will need immediate TLC. With your love and attention, the caterpillars will transition to through their life cycle before your eyes and will be ready for an Easter release (April 9) no matter where you may be celebrating. Return order forms & payment to the Church Office. Checks payable to MUMC, earmark “butterfly.”
EASTER LILIES
Easter Lilies are on sale through March 30th! Please see the order form in Sunday’s bulletin. Make sure to mark the service you would like your lily to be in and whether it is a memorial or honorarium.
