INDIANAPOLIS (DNS) -- The sunflower bouquets that brightened the
General Assembly stage in Pittsburgh are now "brightening" the Hispanic
scholarship fund and the East Hills Community Christian Church building
project.
Assembly goers purchased the tissue paper flowers, made by a dozen
Hispanic Disciples congregations, for more than $1,200. After expenses
were paid, two thirds of the money was donated to the Hispanic
scholarship fund, which aids Hispanic seminarians. The remaining third
augments funding of the building project which added needed classrooms
and a new sanctuary to the Pittsburgh church.
Stage designer Michael Dominguez, St. Louis, pointed out that the sale
also saved the General Assembly money since ferns and flowers are
usually rented to decorate the stage.
