Life In Our Churches

Stone UC Foodgrains Bank Project would appreciate your support of our spring offerings by donations of any plants, shrubs or perennials you are thinning out. Mulch, cedar, dogwood, maple tree whips will be available and watch for wild leeks and fiddleheads too.  Please take as you need and give as you are able ... exchanges are fine too!
