Please bring in your potted plants, flowers and herbs for transplanting, any early crops for sharing. All of the items are free for swapping or sharing, but if you want to make a small donation all proceeds will benefit the local food pantries. Please label all pots.

Wish List
We are in need of two items. If any parishioners would like to donate said item or make a contribution toward the purchase of same, the church would be extremely grateful.
- 2 Baby Swings for the Nursery
- A tent with side flaps (10' x 20' or larger)
The tent is much needed for future fundraisers and will help to generate revenue and finally the swings would alleviate a growing need in the Nursery.
