Flower Memorials and Dedications
Flowers at Sunday Services
Many people like to make donations of flowers in memory of (or in thanksgiving for) loved ones. These gifts are acknowledged in the service bulletins for our Sunday morning services.
If you would like to give a flower memorial, please use the form below. For a regular Sunday memorial, please submit a request at least two weeks prior to the date you wish the memorial to be in the Sunday bulletin. We finalize bulletins well in advance.
The suggested donation is $100.
It’s important that you complete the form below so that we’ll have all the information needed. After you complete the form, you may make your donation online HERE, or by sending a check to the parish office:
- Make check payable to St. Stephen’s Church
- Write “Flower Memorial” on the memo line of the check
- Mail to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 6000 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA 23226
Please be sure to make an online or written request, not just a check or online payment, or the flower guild and the finance office will not have the information they need.
Laurie Rogers, who coordinates flower memorials, will confirm your request within 72 hours. If you do not hear from her please check to make sure she received your request.
Holiday Flower Memorials
At Easter and Christmas, you may make a memorial contribution toward the beautiful arrangements for these special services. At Easter, our flower guild creates beautiful arrangements using spring flowers. At Christmas, they combine fresh greenery with seasonal flowers. The name(s) of the loved one(s) you are remembering will be published in the bulletins for Easter Day or for Christmas Eve, as appropriate.
Please be sure to use the correct request form, whether for a regular Sunday dedication or for a holiday dedication.
Reminders and deadlines for these special holiday memorials are announced in our weekly communications well in advance. Be sure to observe the deadlines, as bulletins for these services are finalized well in advance.
Online reservations and payments are preferred, but if you wish to write a check for your contribution, please:
- Make check payable to St. Stephen’s Church
- Write “EASTER Flower Memorial” or “CHRISTMAS Flower Memorial” on the memo line of the check
- Mail to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 6000 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA 23226
Please do not send a check without having made a request online or in writing. A check alone will not give the flower guild or the finance office the information they need.
