Putting the Garden to Bed
From left to right: Maureen Lavely, Kathleen Steen-Walsh, and Melissa Giese pause in the midst of their garden work.
On Saturday, October 19, members of the Garden Group gathered to put the Cutler Memorial Garden to bed. Leaves were raked, plants were clipped and outdoor furnishings in our worship area covered. And, in a sign of promise, bulbs were planted for the spring.How blessed we are by our garden and by our gardeners!.
News from the ECW
Thank you for generous giving: On Sunday October 6th, we collected $168 towards the purchase of livestock through Episcopal Relief and Development. We may be donating a flock of chickens to a family for their sustenance. Donations are still welcome, and we will let you know of where we are sending our gift.
ECW members Rosemary Kverek and Maureen Lavely sort through recent donations.
We continue to welcome donations for the St. Luke/San Lucas Episcopal Church Thrift Shop in Chelsea. You can drop them off in the downstairs of the Parish Hall (in the room leading to the church). Thank you!
