HIGHLIGHTS

Easter Lilies & Flowers Do you have a loved one that you have lost or a person you would like to honor? This year at Cultivate we would like to start a new Easter tradition, a way to honor and remember those we love. For a donation of $10, you will be receiving an Easter lily or other spring potted flower.  These plants will be used to decorate on Easter Sunday. You can take them home after the service to enjoy.  If you’d like, the bulbs can be planted in the grounds outside of the church to bring a lasting memory.  Just return the plant to the café window after it’s done flowering and the bulbs will be planted outside for you. Please order by April 3 by clicking HERE.  Please contact Missi at mpotter114@gmail.com with any questions.
