Thank you LOG for the recent donations to the LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE! We were able to use funds to have many trees trimmed, thinned and raised on the East side of the church. We also had many dead photinia bushes removed on the South side of the church. We continue to work on cleaning up the church's front landscape beds but are still in need of additional funds to purchase new shrubs for the 3 flower beds near the church's main entrance. This work should happen next spring. If you decide you would like to help with this project, mail your donation to the church or place it in the collection plate. Please note in your donation that the money should go to the "Landscape Fund". If you have any experience with landscape design we would greatly value your input on our spring planting project.
