Folllowing the Stewardship Campaign in early 2005, our organization began on May 27, 2005 with 6 members. Since then 6 more gifted gardeners have joined us as we plant and tend the gardens. MAJOR PROJECTS: The Mary Garden in front was installed in Oct 2005. Oak Street was designed and planted in July 2006. Alley side was planted June 2007. The wall along the St. Joseph Grotto behind the church was begun in 2007, and Completed in 2008. Planting the grotto is ongoing. | | Function of the Group | We love using the talents and love of plants He gave us to beautify "the corner". We also decorate the exterior of the church at Christmas and set up the outdoor Nativity display. Come Join Us! | | Photo Contact Person | Maury Confer | | Comments and Other needs for Organizations | We begin each meeting with the prayer: Heavenly Father, look down upon this gathering of workers in your vinyard and bless us with your presence. We thank you for calling us to this service of caring for the grounds upon which your house of worship sits. You have provided us with the knowledge, the skills, and the gardening talents necessary for our ministry. Guide us in using these abilities to nurture growing grass, trees, flowers, shrubs.... all signs of the resurrection of your son, Jesus Christ, our Savior. May our landscaping efforts let all the earth cry out to you, our God, with joy. We ask this as we gather in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen | | Members | Dorothy Burns, Joe Burgman, Maury Confer, Carol Donald, Tony Janczewski, Ethel Klassen, Clara McElfresh, Cindy Peta, Lou Polczynski, Jim Sandor, Susan Stiles, Joanne Tullis |
