Cutting Garden
In season, the flowers on our altar each Sunday come from our cutting garden, built, and maintained as a labor of love by our members, some of whom are master gardeners. Volunteers are always needed to help maintain the garden.
And of course, in season, the lawn needs to be mowed. All help appreciated here also! It helps keep our church looking beautiful in the growing season.
