Fall Garden Party

Save the date for Sunday, October 16th after the 10 AM service for a parish Fall Garden Party. We will share a light luncheon together in the parish hall followed by some garden and game time outside for those who wish to stay. We will also have a fire lit in an outdoor fireplace for toasting smores and marshmallows so bring your lawn chairs if you’d like to move outside to visit and play and plant after lunch (all the after-lunch activities are, of course, weather permitted – so plan and then pray for good weather!)

As part of our parish gathering, the Grounds crew is asking parishioners who have shade perennial plants to share (like lily of the valley, hostas, ferns) to dig up a few from your garden and bring them – root ball and all – in a plastic grocery bag to plant in designated areas that we aim to populate with chosen shade plants rather than weeds! We will provide a map for where to plant these shade perennials and tools to do so – and tags to mark your plantings so you can check back on them in the spring!

For lunch, the main dish (hot dogs two ways) will be provided.  We ask that parishioners who would like to and are able please bring a hot or cold side dish to share pot-luck style.  For those who don’t like marshmallows 😉, cookies/squares/fruit will be provided for dessert.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
