Weeding and Memorial Garden Helpers Needed!
St. Matthew's needs 6-8 volunteers to help weed the church and parsonage throughout the summer. More hands make less work. A volunteer is also needed to oversee the Memorial garden. This will require some knowledge of plant maintenance and some weeding may be needed periodically. It is important that we continue to keep the outside of our church as inviting as the inside. Please call the church office to volunteer 215-795-2965.
