 Church Project Updates

The New Tree is on it's way! We have been notified that the GRAME team is coming to plant our new Hawthorn tree on Thursday Sept 11 (weather permitting). The cost to us is only $40.00, and that includes delivery and planting! 

Bert Larocque - We are going to dedicate this tree in honour of Bert Larocque, our dearly missed parishioner, who spent so much of his time maintaining the church. 
Plaque- We would like to place a plaque alongside this tree, so we are asking anyone who would like to support this project to make a contribution.
Any Funds over and above the actual cost of the memorial, will be put into the building fund, which we feel Bert would have heartily approved of.

Euonymus- Any guess as to what this is?
If you thought it might be a plant, give yourself an A plus. This plant was put in a bare space in the front garden this week. Although small right now, it will grow into a bush that will add colour all year round.  Thanks Barb & Dave! (Click on the link below)
