Looking Ahead in May at Peoples

Plant Sale

On Saturday, May 16 beginning at 9:00 AM, the annual Plant Sale sponsored by the Garden Committee will take place in either the parking lot at Ellis Hall or if weather is an issue inside the hall. Well over 200 plants will be available for purchase. Most of the plants available are for outside gardening although a few indoor plants will also be available. Other items pertaining to gardening will also be available for purchase at re3asonable prices.

While it is early in the season it is not too early to purchase plants that you may have longed for and have been grown in the gardens of members of the church. Plants that will be available are marked as to whether they grow best in sun or shade. Plants are reasonably priced. If you have questions about growing habits of the plants that are available members of the garden committee will gladly be able to answer your questions.

 

Memorial Day

Water Bottle Project

Monday, May 25 will be celebrated as Memorial Day this year. People in large numbers gather along Broadway from SMCC to the Veterans Memorial beside Mill Creek Park. As the

Parade passes by Peoples UMC for a number of years now Peoples people have handed out 8 ounce bottles of water to those who are watching. This is made possible by members of Peoples purchasing the water in that size container and donating to the church for redistribution. Betty Splettstoesser has chaired this project for a number of years. If you want to help in passing the water out I’m sure she would appreciate the help! One of the best distributors of water bottles has been Pam Libby.

Scout Food Sale

It is my understanding that in addition to this activity there will be a Boy Scout holding a food sale in the Ellis Hall driveway. Proceeds will go toward his Eagle project that is to redevelop the playground behind the church. Troop 23 has met at Peoples for decades. The present troop is very strong and could use our support on this activity.
