How Does Your Garden Grow?
The Creation Care Team encourages gardeners to plant a little extra if you have the space. Original plans were for our ministry to coordinate a harvest-themed event with various activities. We don’t know if we’ll be able to do that this year, but we believe it would still be wonderful to share God’s garden abundance with the congregation in some fashion. We will try to make that happen this fall. Hope your garden is off to a great start!  
Get Your Green Thumb Ready
Spring has sprung and it’s time to plan CoG’s landscaping projects to help keep the grounds looking good. This year the goal will be to keep projects easy-to-tackle while aligning with social distancing guidelines. Our Adopt-A-Garden program was a great success last year and we are happy to bring that back this year. This allows you and your family to help CoG by maintaining a small planting area or potted plants throughout the growing season. Other project work will focus on weed maintenance and perennial additions around the property—watch for more details soon. If you would like to join this ministry, please email  Kellie  at the church office. 
Fare For All: May 28 from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
For the safely of all, Crown of Glory will be hosting a FFA event in the church parking lot with social distancing measures in place. Customers will use the north entrance, receive a menu and follow the volunteers' directions for purchasing and picking up their items. Then exit through the south entrance by the preschool. Payment is by credit card, debit card for EBT only.

Seeking Volunteers

Please email  Kanitta Rentfrow , FFA volunteer coordinator, if you are able to volunteer this Thursday. FFA is encouraging those at risk to refrain from volunteering at this time. Thank you.

Help Coping for Carver County Residents
Coping with the changes during the pandemic brings challenges into our lives. Perhaps you feel lonely, sad or anxious due to the uncertainty of the situation. The Stay at Home order, meaning many of us are isolated with family members or alone, can bring challenges as well. 

Carver County’s First Street Center, our local community mental health center located in Waconia, offers County residents a free online video support group for those struggling with difficult emotions and thoughts during the COVID-19 crisis. This support group listens and provides caring advice for one other. This isn’t a therapy group where you deal with intense conditions. Rather, this group offers listening, understanding, and ideas on coping with the current pandemic on a day-to-day basis.  

Any County resident can participate free of charge, whether you’re a client of First Street Center or not. The group begins on Thursday, May 14 from 5:30-6:30 p.m., continuing every Thursday. You attend the group as needed, with no weekly commitment necessary.
 
Interested residents should call First Street Center to register at (952)442-4437.
