Our Poinsettias as Missionaries of the Christmas Gospel
During Advent and Christmas, Old First continues the tradition of decorating with festive wreaths and beautiful poinsettias. While we won’t be decorating the Sanctuary with these greeneries, we hope to beautify other places with a few this year. We have an idea! Since we don’t need so many when we aren’t in the Sanctuary, we can send them out to share the hope, beauty, and love of Christmas in the wider world.
You are invited to help us show this Christmas spirit here at church or abroad in the world (or at least around metro Philly) through poinsettias, in memory and honor of loved ones.

This year, we are planning to share the poinsettias earlier, and purchasing one will not mean you get one towards the end of the season. Instead, the idea this year, when we aren’t in the Sanctuary, is to share them all over town… spread the love well beyond our walls.
Old First will order the poinsettias and have them delivered to the church on December 9. After that, folks who purchase poinsettias in honor and memory of others can pick up their flowers and deliver them wherever it makes sense to them — in honor of who is remembered or some place meaningful to the person who bought the flower. (We are hoping that mostly our purchasers can handle the deliveries themselves, but we might be able to organize help with some.)

As in years past, the cost for poinsettias is $15 each.
