Recently Rev. Juniper announced that store-bought flowers will no longer be a part of the Altar Building ceremony during Sunday services because they are typically imported from distant sources like South America. It was suggested that flowers be sourced from local sources like our Church Yard.

That brought back memories to some of us long-time members when the church had an informal garden team that maintained the flower gardens. When researching the history of the Peace Cairn, we discovered this 2004 photo of the flower garden just east of the church entrance.

Unfortunately, our Building & Grounds Committee hasn’t had the resources to restore the extensive flower gardens that once existed on the church property. If you would be interested in helping with this effort and possibly joining a new church garden team, please contact the church at info@2uomaha.org.
