Memorial Garden
The first stage of the Memorial Garden was planted in early September of 2010. The plants are off to a good start. During the winter, we will be getting quotes on putting in a "memorial-brick paver" walk-way that will replace the temporary walk of pine needles. Work on the walk should start in the spring along with planting a few perennials in among the shrubs.
Thank you to all who have supported this effort, both monetarily and physically!
Six rhododendrons in our Memorial Garden now have some protection from falling snow off the church roof. Thank you for your help.
The Garden Committee,
Association of Springfield Area Churches (ASAC)
Pastor Christine and Bobbie serve as representatives from FCCUCC to the Association of Springfield Area Churches (ASAC). This association includes most of the Springfield area churches and meets every other month. It is amazing, the number and variety of projects this group undertakes. Various local churches work together or take turns providing ministry in the community. Some of the many activities include: community worship services, Saturday lunches at the Family Center, and worship services at the prison as well as at the Springfield Health and Rehab Center.
