Green Team Notice
Learn about
our Church Gardens. Have a look at our Garden Memory book in the parish
center.
Can you
help in the gardens this summer? You could ‘adopt’ a flower bed; this would
involve planting, watering and weeding or only one of those tasks if that is
all you are able to do. You might choose, instead, to take care of a small
tree; this would involve weeding around it, replacing bits of mulch after the
lawns are cut and perhaps watering once. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish
center. Thanks, your Green Team.
GREEN TEAM and FRIENDS
Come with us and visit Fuller Native and Rare Plants on May
22nd at noon. It will be
a great way to spend your lunch and see new and old varieties of plants native
to this area. You may even decide to add
a few new species to your own garden. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish center (note if you need a
ride). Directions will be with the
sign-up sheet on how to get there. Please note if you need a ride we will meet
in the parking lot of the church at ll:45 am that day. Thanks, your green team
READERS,
CHALICE BEARERS AND COUNTERS -
The summer schedules will soon be started so please call or e-mail the church
office if you will be away at certain times. Thank you.
Request!!! We are in need of people to lead services in nursing homes.
Delivery of sermons is not required. If you are interested please speak to Fr.
Brad or Nora Bottomley.
Yard Clean up Day - May 26th. Please
join us this day in sprucing up our church property. We need your help raking
the leaves, branches and rubbish left from the fall/winter season. The work will go faster and be more enjoyable
if we have many volunteers. Hope to see
you there!!
