THINK SPRING! SJTW GARDENS START UP AGAIN
YOU CAN RENT A $25/YEAR PLOT OR LEND A HAND FOR ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Would you like to grow your own veggies? We have garden plots available, 10x12, behind the church in a bright, sunny location; just $25 for the season.
We also have an area where we plant veggies, berries, and fruit for St. Vincent de Paul. We really need help with this area - and you get to take home a portion of what you pick, if you like.
The work is not hard and we have fun visiting. If you would like to give it a try, we would love your help.
You don't have to come every week; try every-other-week or once a month if that fits your schedule better.
We work Tuesdays and Fridays, depending on the weather, from 9 or 10 to about 1pm. If you would like to volunteer in the evening, let me know and we can get an evening group going. If you wish to rent a plot or want to help, call Becky at 503-449-8552.

Our youth group is still collecting cans and bottles. Even though we're between coordinators, the fund-raising still continues since there will be future trips, once a qualified candidate is found. You may drop off cans and bottles as you have done in the past: either here at the church/office or at a BottleDrop location . Thank you for helping our youth gain these valuable spiritual, mental, physical, and educational experiences! Call Terri x101 or email at sjtwadmin@comcast.net for questions.
