stjosephflowers

The Flower Guild of St. Joseph Catholic Church--Gluckstadt, Mississippi was organized in the Summer of 2009. Previously, flowers had been arranged by church members from time to time, with occasional donated floral memorials, usually made by a local florist. Flower Guild members are volunteers who create floral arrangements to the Glory of God, which remind us of the wonder of the natural world He created. The Guild uses wildflowers and objects of nature whenever possible.

Mother's Day, 2011
Mixed flowers in pinks and greens decorated the church on May 8, 2011. Since the Easter Lilies have lost all their blooms, they were removed from the church, even though it is still the Easter Season. The feathers from the peacock, a symbol of resurrection, still adorn the arrangements.

Easter, 2011
This year, the Easter flowers included the beautiful white Easter lilies as well as other flowers in the colors of the peacock feather.
Feathers were included in the decorations because the molting
of peacocks and the renewal of their plumage are ancient signs
of resurrection.
