The First Fruits & Veggies Table is Back!
Let's put an end to the cucumber overload! Throughout the rest of the summer, we're bringing back an awesome idea to share the garden goodness!
Join us in helping us make our Garden Produce Swap & Share table a grand success! On the front steps of our sanctuary, starting at 9:00 AM until after worship, we'll have a lovely table set up for all our homegrown fruits and veggies.
Simply drop off whatever your gardens yield and take what you need for your friends and family. Let's make sure nothing goes to waste and spread the love of fresh produce!
Let's bond with our church friends and even share these delicious treats with our downtown neighbors who may be out taking a morning stroll. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect and show some love to our community!
