Flowers for Philippi

🌸 Beautiful Flowers, Generous Hearts, and the Spirit of Christmas!

Just in time for the season of giving, Flowers for Philippi is back!

Pender’s own Saundra Sandrock has once again been busy creating beautiful seasonal flower arrangements, and she’s sharing her talents to help families in need in Philippi, West Virginia.

Whether you’re looking for a lovely centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table, a thoughtful gift for someone special, or a little seasonal beauty to brighten your home, you’re sure to find something wonderful!

💐 Take What You Want — Give If You Choose!

There are no set prices for the arrangements. Simply choose the flowers you love and make a donation if you wish.

Donation Information:

  • Checks payable to: Pender UMC
  • Memo line: Philippi-Bonnie

  • When: November 1–8, 2026

❤️ Every Dollar Makes a Difference!

100% of the money collected will go toward purchasing Christmas gifts for families in need in Philippi, WV.

This special Christmas outreach ministry is coordinated by Bonnie DeRouchie, who helps bring the joy and hope of Christmas to families in the Philippi community.

Through Saundra’s creativity, Bonnie’s dedication, and the generosity of our Pender family, we have another wonderful opportunity to put our faith into action and share God’s love beyond our church walls.

A heartfelt thank-you to Saundra for sharing her time, talent, and beautiful creations for such a meaningful cause!

Stop by the Gathering Place, pick out something beautiful, and help spread a little Christmas joy to our neighbors in Philippi.

Beautiful flowers. Generous hearts. Christmas blessings. That’s Pender love in action! 🌸❤️
