Outdoor Beautification Needs Your Ideas – October 10

The Outdoor Beautification Committee would like to thank everyone who pitched in to help maintain and care for the church gardens this season. The time and effort you spent made the front of the church look wonderful.
Now that the season is drawing to a close we would like your input and suggestions for next year. Please attend our meeting on this Thursday, Oct 10th, at 10:00. You don’t have to be a landscape specialist to have great ideas. We hope to have you there.
