STEWARDSHIP:
We all know that the word means sharing your "time, talent and
treasure". There is a group of women that have focused on sharing their time and talent to help make the entrance to our church welcoming and inviting. This group is excited to be helping to beautify the large landscape pots out in front, and are having fun too.
As we all know, "many hands make light work" so the group has many talented hands working together. We want to thank Eric Lantz for the donation of a lot of our pumpkins, but most of the rest of the supplies were foraged from yards and gardens to make a natural display of the beauty of God's earth. We hope you enjoy the effect.
Our team includes: Betsy Webb, Connie Merkel, Diane Hildenbrand, Karen Beckwith, Kathy Delpha, Kathy Heath, Kathy Kreuzman (yes, that's a lot of "Kathys"), Martha Brown, Sarah Heath, Sara Milano, and Sharon Williams.
