Bring Back the Trees Talk
After our May storms, we need to plant new trees. Before we do so, let's learn how important our choice of trees and method for planting will be. Come learn about planting trees, native trees and the importance of trees as pollinators. Plan to join us for this important event on Wednesday, August 28 at 6pm in Hines Hall. Come ask questions and learn from Tim Perkins (Alpha Landscape), Laurie Scott (Wild One), and Sara Wittenberg (Pollinator.org). We are grateful for their creation care ministry! Free to the public. Brought to us by our Environmental Care Team.

We will have a unified worship service on Sunday, September 1 at 11 am. Sunday School will be at 10 am. Our phenomenal music ministry will be organizing and leading the service! Don't miss it!
