Opportunities
Youth Geranium Sale is back! We are so happy to offer you Peterson Nursery's BEAUTIFUL individual geraniums AND mix colored floral baskets (petunia and other mixed florals) for pre-order!!!
The baskets are different this year, but I've been told by the owner that every time people order one, when they see it, they usually ask for a few more!
Flowers are $6 each and hanging baskets are $30 each.
Flowers can be picked up on Sunday morning, May 5 from 9-11:00 AM.
Delivery is available for $10 if necessary.
Pre-Orders are due by April 18.
We will have a limited amount for sale out front at Westminster on Sunday, May 5. Please make checks payable to Westminster Presbyterian Church with "Youth Missions" on the memo. Fill out your order form here. Questions? Talk to Vik (vik@salemwestpres.org).
Earth Month Opportunities
On Saturday, April 13 from 9:00 to about 12:00 you have an opportunity to help the Building and Grounds team install songbird houses on the church property. No particular skills involved; can do everything from handing screws to an installer to driving posts into the ground. All are welcome to help make our property attractive to songbirds.
Attend an online ecumenical Earth day service April 19, 2024 at 9 am. Drawing on Creation Justice's resource, "Plastic Jesus: Real Faith in a Synthetic World", this service will lead participants into a time of contemplation and prayer while considering the prophetic actions we might take on behalf of God's creation. Rev. Caleb Haynes, author of Garbage Theology, will preach, and the service will include new music commissioned for Earth Day. Register here.
On Saturday, April 20 from 9:00 to 11:00, you could help the Building and Grounds team plant shrubs along the Liberty Street side of the property. These plantings will include Oregon grape, camas, and kinnikinnick as recommended by the Marion County Soil and Water Urban Habitat people who walked the property with church representatives about six weeks ago. They are part of a broader program to remove invasive species and make the property more inviting to wildlife.
