Easter Sunrise Service
As the women gathered around Jesus' tomb in the very early hours of the Sunday after He had been buried, we will gather for a joyful and celebratory service. When we greet the sunrise we know that there is also the eternal Son Rise of our Savior. A spiritual and inclusive half hour of Yoga will prepare us for welcoming Jesus' resurrection.

Gardens for Good
Earth Day at McCue Garden Center
Come learn about how you can help alleviate food insecurity in your neighborhood while repotting and take home a tomato plant.
Be part of a network of gardeners who grow vegetables in your yard or help others grow in their yards. Then we'll collect and donate what we grow to the Council of Social Concern and the En Ka Food Pantry. If you can't garden you can still contribute by sharing some of your lawn to turn into a garden.
