  • Spring Cleanup at First Church
    Saturday May 17, 8 AM to Noon
    An initial church cleanup was accomplished by Collins Landscaping funded by a generous donation (four men worked all day). But there is still plenty to do. We want to spread mulch, trim a few trees, clean off the roof of debris, wash a few windows and generally spruce up the church. Come for the morning or just for a couple hours.
