Christmas Poinsettias
The sight of our sanctuary overflowing with Christmas POINSETTIAS is a cherished Christmas tradition. You can help fill Bucyrus United Methodist church with a bounty of beautiful poinsettias by placing an order by Sunday, December 9th. Dedications will appear in the bulletin. Each plant is $12.50 with red foil. Please mark "poinsettia" on your check. This year, instead of a poinsettia flower your dedication $$ can go to the building fund. Look for order forms in Wesley Hall.
