The labyrinth requires very little maintenance, and yet we've learned in the past that if don't we don't remove the little grass that there is in the Spring, we won't be able to walk it in August. It's one of those ounce of prevent things. It is, after all, a stone labyrinth, and mowing it is a big pain. (Trust us, we've tried!)

Having said that, this Saturday, March 14th, from 10 AM to noon, we'll have a labyrinth work day to remove grass from the path, and to cut back the branches that have grown into the outer circuit.

Looking at the weather forecast, at this point the rain is forecast for the afternoon, so we should be good, but use your own judgement. If we have to cancel, then we'll reschedule.

Be sure to bring work gloves and a knee pad if you have one. You can bring a leaf rake if you have one, but we've discovered in the path that just pulling the weeds by hand works the best.

If you have any questions, please write labyrinth@liveoakuu.org.

Hope you can join us!

This Easter, Kiya Heartwood tells me the sermon will reveal that Jesus was a singer! That makes perfect sense to me. And what better way to celebrate than to have any children, youth, and treble singers come together to sing "Morning Has Broken"! Recordings are widely available online, and it is #38 in our hymnal. Who is interested? We will find time to practice, but one will do it. Contact me (Rebecca) at music@liveoakuu.org or pull me aside at church.

Your Buildings and Grounds team recently replaced several internal and external plumbing valves, including the main building shutoff near the street. While this was an expensive bill for a fairly invisible asset, it saved us potentially several thousand dollars down the road if there was an issue with the city shutoff.
