Landscape and Garden Ministry Update
Our new ministry, created by Richard Snider, is off to a flying start beginning with our first work day on September 28th. So many parishioners pitched in and together the church front and courtyard look renewed and refreshed. Volunteers included Richard S., Diane F., Jon S., Judie F., Donna, Dave H., and Kathy and Rich B.
Thank you!!
Thanks to Richard, Jon and Mariana D. we enjoyed coffee, donuts and apple juice. Richard also provided the beautiful chrysanthemum and pumpkin garden arrangement around the tree stump.
On October 5th we held another work day attended by Richard S., Jon S., and Dave H.during which we cleared behind the stone wall, weeded and cut branches from trees near the basement, hauled away cuttings and debris, mulched around stump and made more plans! Once again Richard designed a beautiful church front with huge mums, pumpkins and wreaths.
Next Garden Ministry work day is set for Saturday, October 26th from 10:00 am -12:00 pm.
The work sessions are "free flowing" in that you can drop in for an hour or longer on any of the dates scheduled but you don't have to come to all of them.
Anyone
can come to help and remember to bring your own garden gloves, and tools. All recent plants and garden supplies have been voluntary donations and new donors would be appreciated.

Adult/Teen Assistants Needed for Children's Chapel
|
In order to comply with our diocesan Safe Church Guidelines, please consider signing up to assist or help lead our Children's Chapel at the 10am service. If you like children, and like the Gospel, you'll love serving in Children's Chapel. You’ll start the service in your pew, process out during the opening hymn, and then return at The Peace for Holy Communion. We sing songs, tell stories, do Godly Play, pray, etc. all in child-friendly fashion. Now that our numbers are growing (Alleluia) we definitely need to be sure we have two adults/teens with our children at all times. Please contact Sue Vogelman at
