Rooted in the past, reaching for the future
Next Sunday, October 2nd, we will hold our two services outside in the church yard for the Annual Blessing of the Animals!
Bring your pets for a special blessing at our 8:00AM or 10:30AM Services! If it rains cats and dogs, we will move into the Parish Hall for the services!
Gardens around the Parish House and Church need attention! All potential gardeners are invited to bring your gardening gloves and tools for an hour of weed pulling and trimming at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 1st. Coffee and donuts provided. Please call or email Sande Taylor to let her know you are coming (410-620-3820/mamacass4@verizon.net ).
Please note: If you cannot come to this garden session but want to get out in the garden, think about potting up some of your extra plants for the 2017 Garden Market now. Dig them in for the winter and they will be ready for spring.
Looking ahead to the 2017 Garden Market Plant Table … if you discovered any interesting containers to prepare for the spring sale, bring them to the gardening session to show them off. We can discuss Garden Market strategies and a time table as we weed.
ECW MEETING THIS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, AT 9am IN THE PARISH HOUSE.
Time to form a team and get on your walking shoes for the Annual CROP Hunger Walk! This year’s walk will be on Sunday, October 2nd and once again, start at SMA. Registration is at 1:00PM and the walk will start at 2:00.
The first CROP Hunger Walk was in the 1960s. Now more than 2,000 communities across the U.S. join in CROP Hunger Walks each year. A unique aspect of CROP Hunger Walks is that Church World Service doesn’t receive all of the money raised. Up to 25% of the money donated is given to local hunger fighting agencies, including our own Outreach Pantry!
