Beth Cobb, in her position as Assistant for Services, used to take orders for poinsettias to decorate the church for Christmas (and then people who had ordered one would take them home after Christmas Eve).
If you love that tradition and would like to keep it going as a volunteer, please contact Rev. Caplow at minister@uucuc.org.
I am neutral-to-negative on the topic. It may be important to some people, so I am tolerant of it, but I think handling the orders, arranging the plants, and getting them all distributed is a distraction at a time of year that is already quite busy for everyone, and I am mindful of the time put onto the people who handle it all.
