Plethora of Plenty--August 6 is the time to share the bounty from your garden. We will be seated around the tables in Boulder Hall for our communion service. Bring your garden bounty as the centerpiece for your table. If you are able, bring “nibbles” for the table also...sliced apples, grapes, zucchini muffins, peach bread, etc... If you can't, don't worry, this is plethora of plenty Sunday. We will share.
Smile! Photo Directory time is coming! We all want to get to know each other and a new photo directory will help. This will be a simpler version than we have in past years, done completely in-house with volunteer labor. No fancy slick photo packages to buy. We just need your picture! Sign Ups begin in the narthex August 6, so bring your calendar! Photo shoot dates are scheduled to happen between August 27-September 11 at the church. Online sign-up option coming week of Aug 6.
