The flowers on the altar:The color white is color at its most complete and pure, the color of perfection. The psychological meaning of white is purity, innocence, wholeness and completion.
In color psychology white is the color of new beginnings, of wiping the slate clean, so to speak.
It gives it meaning. The ivy plant signifies your thriving towards enlightenment, advancement in spirit; it is an
alert for a spiritual awakening and rising to higher consciousness.
The Celtic meaning of the ivy deals with connections and friendships because of its propensity to interweave
in growth. ... The ivy is also a symbol of survival and determination

Family Promise of Greater New Braunfels has a new graduate! Our church is one of a number of churches in town that support Family Promise. For several months a family with three children have been living in small quarters at the Day Center where the offices of Family Promise are located. Since churches have not been able to house the homeless families during this pandemic, this family has been staying at the Day Center, but now they have graduated out to their own home. If you are able, it would be wonderful if our church family could show-er this mom and her children with gift cards from either Wal Mart or HEB. The cards can either be brought to the church and placed in the marked boxes for Family Promise or mailed to FPGNB, Box. 311866, New Braunfels, Texas 78131. Designate the cards for the latest new graduate. Thank you! Edie Burquest, Coordinator
