PENTECOST FLOWERS
Pentecost is May 19th this year. It has been a tradition for many years that Zion has
red geraniums for Pentecost that always brighten up the outside of the church. The
geraniums will decorate the Sanctuary BEFORE they are planted as we always
celebrate Pentecost with the color RED!
If you would like to place a donation toward the red geraniums for
Pentecost here are a couple of ways you can donate:
1. Send a check to Zion and put Pentecost Flowers on the memo of the check.
2. Sunday Service you can put an envelope in the offering plate with your donation and Landscaping written on the memo line.
