OK folk - I need help.
Our priest Served his final Liturgy with us last week - he moves South this week to his new Parish.
Our new Priest takes over this Sunday BUT we do not have access to the Church till about 10am on Sunday [ do NOT ask why we haven't got the keys ]
Father was having a mild panic about the flowers for the Cross on Sunday before Liturgy, so I , naturally , said I would look after that.
Cometh 10 am on Sunday I'll head into Church with red roses , red carnations and lots of green leaves . I have a tray , I know to remove the Icon and Crucifix from the tetrapod .
Any tips for the nOOb in doing this ? Believe it or not this is something Father has always done and the Parish has just taken it for granted. There is a flower fund but I'm not expecting , nor do I want , to be re-imbursed .
I really want to get this right for our new priest - he's very very much on 'probation' as far as the Parish is concerned. As a non-Uke and a non-Ukie speaker in a very Uke Parish, it is not going to be easy for him , but we really do need him.
