Women exercise their flower power

+ Women exercise their flower power
The first time Julie Eisele attended a service at Church of the Redeemer, the priest asked everyone who chaired a committee to stand up and be recognized. When Flower Committee Chairwoman Sarah Bailey stood, Eisele turned around and whispered, “I want to be on the Flower Committee!”

For the past 14 years, Eisele has been ordering flowers for any event that calls for them — especially Easter. With the help of parish member Marian Wallace, whose specialty is picking perfect palm fronds for Palm Sunday, the women always keep the church looking its best.
