Faith & Flowers - October 2020

Lockdown Chain
What a joy it has been for those of us who have been able to get
back into our churches and to arrange flowers to the glory of God.
Lockdown and isolation sadly meant that we could not hold our
usual chain of flowers event back in June, however, with the
news that churches might possibly be open again by August,
Council decided that we should ask as many of you as possible
to do something on 2 August when we believed a good number
of churches would be reopening.
I am really sorry for those of you who were unable to take part
in lockdown Chain of Flowers because your churches were still
closed or arranging is not being allowed, or that you, yourselves,
are not ready to return to church. However, the good news is that
some of you were able to arrange in church and others used their
imagination and creative flair to provide something either at
home or outside their churches. Here are some of those offerings.

arrangement on a cross outside the
door of St Giles, Hartington
Margaret Shuffield, London
Branch, provided this from her
home to mark the chain event
