    Join Our Gardeners!

    For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

    Isaiah 61:11 (NRSVCE)

    After our spring clean up we need help to keep our Church gardens beautiful and inviting! We’re looking for 6-8 parishioners to lend a hand for just a few hours a month during the gardening season. It’s a fun way to enjoy the outdoors, connect with fellow parishioners, and beautify our sacred space with a little weeding, trimming and watering!

    Interested? Sign up at the entrance and be part of our gardening maintenance! Let’s grow something beautiful together!
