Trinity to celebrate with Landscape Exchange, yard clean up and other activities

One persons overgrown plantings may fill another persons landscape bare spot. Earth Day 2012 is Sunday, April 22, and Trinitys new Green Team is planning several activities, including a Landscape Exchange. This spring, as you are cleaning up your yard and landscape areas as you identify plants that need to be thinned, separated or simply arent what you want you may be able to find them a new home in someone elses yard. Simply dig them up, place them in a container, label them, provide any special instruction, and bring them to Trinity the weekend of Earth Day. (Please consider dropping them off prior to the Saturday worship service.) Then, browse what others have brought and if you find something that may be a good fit in your yard, just take it home and plant it. You dont need to bring plants to select some for your yard. Following a light lunch, we also will celebrate Earth Day by cleaning Trinitys yard and landscape areas. Please bring your work gloves, a couple of yard waste bags and your preferred tools (clippers, pruners, spade, etc.).

Memorial Candles
Several Memorial Candles (in the back) are lit every Sunday. The Worship Committee has decided that some members of the congregation might want to help defray some of the cost of the candles. Each candle costs approximately $0.25. They are purchased in boxes of 144. There will be a little box placed back on the table if you want to help. This is a volunteer effort. Members of the congregation are encouraged to light the candles whether or not they help defray the cost.
