Purchase a Lily for a loved one
This Easter, celebrate the season by purchasing an Easter Lily in memory or in honor of someone dear to your heart. These elegant flowers are a symbol of hope and renewal, making them a meaningful tribute to loved ones.
If you would like to purchase an Easter Lily, please mail a check to Dido UMC for $15 with "Lily in memory/honor of _____" in the memo. You can also send the $15 via Venmo indicating it is for Lilies and for whom it is in honor or memory, or a form will be provided to fill out in your bulletin Sunday at Worship.

Flower the Cross
As we celebrate the resurrection on Easter Sunday, we invite you to take part in a cherished tradition. Bring fresh flowers from your garden to place on the wooden cross outside the sanctuary. This tradition transforms the cross into a beautiful symbol of new life and hope.
Whether a single bloom or a small bouquet, your flowers will add to this meaningful display of faith and renewal. Join us in making this Easter morning a celebration of Christ’s victory over the grave.
We look forward to worshiping with you!
