Flowering of the Cross

The Flowering of the Cross is a tradition at Sylva First Baptist Church, symbolizing the ugliness of death being transformed into the beauty of the resurrection. The Table Fellowship Sunday School class takes the lead in decorating the cross but counts on members of the congregation to help by bringing fresh flowers before Sunday School on Easter. Please bring your offerings to the porch of the church on your way to Sunday School.  

The result will be a beautiful and meaningful symbol for our church and community to see.
