There is still time to order!
We're looking for "in honor of" or "in memory of" donations to purchase geraniums and fillers for Pentecost and Memorial Day. You can send in a check or give online (click

). Remember to let us know who you are honoring with the donation.
Also, if anyone is thinning out their perennials and willing to donate some of them to the church, please do so! Tina and Theresa love to work on the grounds to make the outside of church as beautiful as the inside.

The FirstPres Food Pantry is so thankful for your GENEROUS donations - monetary and otherwise. You have been so generous, that we do not need anything more at this time.
As we slowly make our way back to the norm, our food pantry can always use hearty soups, stews, etc.
If you or your family are in need of assistance from the FirstPres Food Pantry, please contact the church office. And please know that your request will remain in strict confidence.
Be safe, healthy and happy!

“The Peace of Wild Things”
by Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
