Music:
Cleanse Me Sometimes referred to as "Search Me, O God" by J. Edwin Orr
Favors:
- Scrub Brushes
Use small scrub brushes and glue a small cluster of spring flowers and ribbon to the top of the brush. (Flat brushes without the handles will work best). Tie on a hang tag with your theme verse. You could use other small cleaning tools if needed. Small wisk brooms, feather dusters, or sponges with handles might be good options.
