Tomorrow, Saturday, April 9th
Second has signed up to host a table at West View's Community Day.
We will be distributing packets of seeds from Beardsley Farms, so the kids can plant and grow their own vegetables. We need donations of EGG CARTONS for the kids to fill with soil and plant their seeds. Please drop them off at the church office this week. The biodegradable cardboard kind are best, but any at all would be super!
Sign up with a friend or your spouse (or your grandkids) and come work the table for an hour. Call Tracy Horton to claim your spot at 865-805-1928, or click the button below to sign up.
