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 $150.
This is a two-step process.
Step 1 is to complete the form linked below in the purple button; this is where we’ll obtain the information we need to honor your loved one.
After you complete the form, you may make your donation online or by sending a check to the parish office.
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.
Do not use this form for Easter or Christmas memorials. Use the form in the next section.
Step 2 is payment. Please complete the Sunday Request form first. You may make your payment using our online giving platform or by check.
In the online giving platform (HERE), be sure to select Sunday Flower Memorials from the dropdown menu. (It is not the first item in the menu.)
If paying by check:
- Make payable to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church
- Write “Flower Memorial” on the memo line
- Mail to the church: 6000 Grove Ave., Richmond, VA 23226
Again, please be sure to make an online or written request, or the flower guild and the finance office will not have the information they need.
For assistance, please call the parish office, 804.288.2867.
Vigil Candle Offering
The Vigil Candle sits in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and is alight whenever the consecrated Eucharistic elements are present. As with flower memorials, many people give the candle in honor of or in memory of a loved one. The suggested donation is $50 and may be paid by check to the front office or via our online portal. To make a Vigil Candle offering, please click the button below.
