The community garden is tilled and ready for sowing.  

If you're interested in participating, send an email or fill out a comment form.
See the Read More link for a brochure for our Community Gardeners. 

Our church gardeners plant whatever they wish and donate half of the harvest to Welcome INN. 
All gardeners are welcome to participate with donations from home gardens.

This effort was inspired by Plant a Row for the Hungry, a national public service program developed in 1995 by the Garden Writers Association.  Participants are asked to plant an extra row to their existing vegetable gardens and donate this surplus.

In 2009, the Sunday School began our program with one row (14x20) and donated 30lb. 
In 2010, the community garden expanded to nine 9x12 plots and donated 501lb.
In 2011, the community garden expanded to twelve plots and donated 570lb.
In 2012, the community garden did not expand, and donated a lot of vegetables.

Thanks to God for all who contributed, participated, and especially for those who continued to applaud the many various acts in the talent show.

Thanks for the cooks and the home cooked chili dinner!

Thanks for the generous support.  The evening was a very successful fund-raiser for the youth mission trip. 

House and Ground is looking for volunteers to help paint the new sanctuary windows.

If you are can help with any of the small (or big) jobs around the church, please call the House & Grounds Moderator or sign up on the bulletin board in the hall. 

The House and Grounds committee takes care of the building, churchyard, parking lot, and manse. Thanks to each person who takes on the small and big chores around the church, from closet cleanups to fixing the broken plumbing and parking lot repair. Thank you, too, to everyone who spots problems and reports them.

Please continue to suggest opportunities and spot problems and let the church know when you fix things.  You can call, email, or use the general purpose web form reachable via the "read more" link below.

The church has had many renovations over the 200 years it has been in use.  Major renovations were in 1868, 1958, 1985, and 1990.

The exterior is pretty much the same, except the wood shingles on the roof were replaced in 1972 and there are some storm windows placed over the windows, and the windows are going to be replaced.  The weathervane was replaced when the steeple was fixed up.
