~ The Garden Committee will gather
from 10am until Noon.
~ The Church Office will be closed.
Isolation
One of our FELC members has asked Pastor Linda for help breaking up the tedium, loneliness, and boredom of being homebound.

You can help this member by simply making a phone call, sending an email, taking her out for coffee or lunch, or for a short drive (when the weather is a little cooler).

If you would like to reach out, call or email Pastor Linda , 401-330-8511, and she will put you in touch.
Church Beautification Projects
              Before                                       After

Come to church and see our beautification projects!  Check out these before and after photos  of the front of the church office.

John Faiola has been leading the way with help from the Gardening Committee.  All new plantings were donated by John from his home nursery. 
 
Shrubs have been removed from the front of the church so the sign is more visible.  The hedges have been trimmed, shaped and nurtured for future growth. 

Joyce Saenz has earned her stripes as the newest member of the Garden committee, weeding and edging all the gardens!  Edith Johnson and Sonja DeStefanis have planted tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant and peppers. 

This week the Vacation Bible School kids planted zucchini and summer squash and learned that all the vegetables they helped with are going to the Food Pantry.
