Parish Greenification today! Bring your clippers, green thumbs, and sun hats and head over to the church. Come mulch, weed, and plant
this morning - coffee and donuts provided!
Pull ten weeds, win our eternal adoration!
You're invited to a family plant-out! After the 10 am service this Sunday, all families and children are invited to join Ms. Ann along the driveway, where we'll plant up the flower beds to celebrate the spring! Special thanks to Peter Turner and Randy Prindle for preparing the flowerbeds for us.
Calling all cranes:

For the month of May, we will be collecting the items that go into Comfort Cases for children entering the Montgomery County Foster Care System. Please find the shopping list on the Outreach table in the vestibule. Donated items can be left in the baskets in the vestibule. Special thank you to Charlie Briggs, who will be keeping an inventory of what we have collected.
Youth Group: Bagels and Bible Middle and high school youth are welcome to gather in the loft after church for a weekly discussion of the Bible with snacks! More info:
