If painting isn’t your “thing,” perhaps you could help us remove the big, dying spruce tree northwest of the church building. Refreshments will be provided. There will be no childcare, but children with adult supervision are welcome to participate! For more information, contact Clyde Anderson or Tom Rundquist.
