This page features photos from the Flower Festival held in the church on Saturday, 12 May 2007. Many of the different groups who meet in the church throughout the week contributed an arrangement, each one based on a passage from the Bible. Click on the thumbnail photos of the arrangements to see the full-size pictures.

Our Badminton group chose Psalm 100 verse 4 as their text:

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name (Psalm 100:4, NIV).

The Dartmoor walking group based their arrangement around Psalm 121:

I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? ..... the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore (Psalm 121:1 & 8, NIV).

Exodus chapter 2 and the birth of Moses formed the basis of the Patchwork Group's display:

Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile (Exodus 2:3, NIV).

The display from Women's Fellowship was based on Abraham's three visitors in Genesis 18:

Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground (Genesis 18:2, NIV).

Our Pre-School based their arrangement on Matthew chapter 13, the Parable of the Sower:

But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown (Matthew 13:23, NIV).

The feeding of the five thousand was the inspiration for the display from the Wednesday Lunches group:

Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish (John 6:11, NIV).

Men's Fellowship chose the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector:

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount" (Luke 19:8, NIV).

The Girls' Brigade display was based on the story of Elijah and the widow at Zarephath in 1 Kings chapter 17:

"Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son" (1 Kings 17:13, NIV).

Our young adults used the Fiery Furnace in Daniel chapter 3 as the basis of their display:

Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!" (Daniel 3:26, NIV).

Joseph's "richly ornamented robe" was the inspiration for the display from Ladies' Group:

Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented robe for him (Genesis 37:3, NIV).

This display was inspired by Jesus washing his disciples' feet in John chapter 13:

After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him (John 13:5, NIV).

Our flower arranging group chose the Lord's supper as the basis of their arrangement:

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes (1 Corinthians 11:26, NIV).

The Boys' Brigade display was based on the story of Jonah:

But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights (Jonah 1:17, NIV).

The Song of Moses and Miriam inspired the arrangement from our Music Group:

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him (Exodus 15:2, NIV).

Our Parent & Toddler group, Crèche and Cradle Roll chose the story of Noah:

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month — on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights (Genesis 7:11-12, NIV).

The Lighthouse (children's activities) used the story of creation as the inspiration for their arrangment:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth... (Genesis 1:1, NIV).
