Peoples on Memorial Day

 Memorial Day at Peoples

Pam delivers

Coffee andwater for free

Since the city parade now passes Peoples Church a number of activities are centered at the front of the church property. For several years now and led by Betty Splettstoesser a free water and coffee distribution takes place on the front lawn. Pam Libby can be seen extending that booth by going through the crowd with Peoples identified bottles of water. Rosemary and others help at the booth and prepare the coffee that is free to those that approach the booth.

Labelling bottles

Hard at work the day before

On Sunday, the day before the parade, Betty with the help of Amy Wellington and Kathy Brann had relabeled the 8 oz bottles of water by adding Peoples United Methodist Church stickers.

Leftover plants

Project Graduation

While that booth is operated by members of the church this year Project Graduation has used the Ellis Hall parking lot to serve as headquarters for kids to grab water bottles, balloons and flags to distribute to the crowds along Broadway.

Eagle Project Bake Sale

One of the Scouts who will be working toward his Eagle badge by leading Troop 23 in the reworking of the children’s playground at the back of the church property. He had organized a bake sale that he manned also in the parking lot. Money raised will go to meet the needs for redoing the play area.

Dick Small drives oldest fire engine

Peoples faithful

Other members of the church also found the grounds of the church as a great place to feel at home while watching the parade. One of our number, Dick Small, was driving the oldest of the fire engines that were in the parade.
