Easter Lilies for Home Visitation Members April 19 Let's show our home-bound and assisted living members that we haven't forgotten them. On Sabbath afternoon, April 19, we will be delivering Easter lilies to them. This task only takes a few minutes, but a flower and a prayer can bring a smile to their faces every time they see it. We will provide you with a card that includes their name and address. Request to Sabbath School Class Teacher/Coordinator If you are a teacher/coordinator of a Sabbath School class that meets outside the Pioneer sanctuary, you are requested to inform your name, location and meeting time.
