Our community garden is ready for spring planting and we would love for you to be a part of this special project. We will be reserving two of the eight raised beds for seasonal food for the Food Pantry. Six other raised beds will be available on a first come / first served basis for members of our congregation. In addition, we will have a cutting garden around the perimeter for the altar guild. Even if you are not interested in having your own raised bed, we would love your help maintaining the garden and cultivating the plots for the Food Pantry. Let's get our hands dirty this summer!
For the past few weeks, we have beenasking parishioners to participate in a project that will create colored posters for the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. We have invited families and/or small groups to come together to color and as of today, we have only one poster left!
See what Terry Ebright and Regina Early have already done! If you are interested, finished pages are due back to Cindy no later than April 2.
