HISTORY

In August 1930, Mrs. Anna Sampson, a member of the Cornerstone Baptist Church under the Leadership of the late Pastor W. T. Fentress, saw the need for beautifying the church and organized the Floral Circle. The purpose of the "Circle" was to supply flowers for the rostrum each Sunday, thus promoting an atmosphere of love. 

Since then, each Sunday morning beautiful flowers are placed in shining brass vases to adorn the pulpit.  Many times members and friends purchase them in memory or in honor of loved ones, or for a special event. 

The third Sunday of each month is Holy Communion Sunday, a special day in the life of Cornerstone Church.  Special white bouquets enhance the pulpit for this sacred service. At the close of Sunday Service, flowers are taken to members who are hospitalized, con-fined to their homes, or Nursing Homes. This is the manner by which the Floral Club "spread sunshine."

Funds are generated by contributions from members of the Floral Club, and from sponsorship of events/projects.
