 LABOR DAY WEEKEND this weekend -

 

Labor Day Trivia: Annual holiday devoted to the recognition of working people's contribution to society. Observed on the first Monday in September in the U.S. and Canada. First celebrated in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882, under the sponsorship of the Knights of Labor. Congress passed a bill making Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. Often celebrated with parades and speeches, as well as political rallies, and the day is sometimes the official kickoff date for national political campaigns in the U.S. In most other countries, workers are honoured on May Day.

COMMUNITY GARDEN

"COMMUNITY Gardening"

Look behind the church and see our new commuinity garden. 

Work continues .... THIS THURSDAY EVENING, Sept. 9, we will be spreading dirt and planting. Come join us. 

 

Want Your Own Plot?  Only $20/year.   Reserve yours now.   If you don't want your own, work in a plot dedicated to feeding the needy.  Or, start your own plot for the community.  Help pre-school do a children's plot.  Come up with your own idea.

 

WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR OWN GARDEN PLOT: 

  • Reduce grocery bill by growing your own veggies - healthier too.
  • Great way to reconnect children and yourself with nature. Growing their own veggies, might even get the children to eat their veggies.
  • Great way to share a project with the shole family.
  • Get to know new friends or have fun with old friends. 
  • Master Garderners on hand to help.

Be a part of this exciting new ministry . Get the word out and join us.

The Care for Creation Team will keep you updated as we move forward to. If you'd like to participate, please  contact Andy or Sara LoSchiavo at phone, 904-200-7500, or email saranandylosch@yahoo.com
