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.

Lent, 2012
We do not have flowers in church during Lent. However,
we used very plain curly willow sticks along with crepe
myrtle pods in the vestibule as well as in the front of the church.
The new Church was traditionally decorated with red poinsettias and Christmas trees.. We also had a beautiful poinsettia tree surrounded by berries and greenery in the front of the church.
Advent, 2011
We had a progressive Advent arrangement this year, meaning that the arrangement grows as our anticipation of Christ's birth grows. We also had a very natural, woodsy Advent wreath.
