Ferry Beach Registration Extended!

Many of us begin the church year with a weekend of retreat and reflection at Ferry Beach in Saco, Maine (http://www.ferrybeach.org)./ The weekend is affordable and open to everyone. We join together with friends from the Holden Street church for beach walks, volleyball, time to rest, a talent show, and even a campfire! Mark your calendars now for September 17th – 19th.

We have extended registration sign ups for one more week. We will be available this Sunday, June 6th during Coffee Hour. Prices include dorm style accommodations, food and activities. Camping is also available! We hope you’ll join us this year!

Thank You,
Shannon and Laura Kirshenbaum (Ferry Beach co-chairs)

Needed: Sod Busters

Sod Busters are earnestly invited to remove sod from planned locations for Yucca transplants. We need to move the Yucca plants near the Bancroft Room entrance of the church to make way for a gas meter. The first step in that process is to remove the sod from the new locations on the upper slope behind the upper parking lot.

Sod busters will see a serpentine pattern marked on the upper slope above the upper parking lot. Where the 2 serpentine lines form eye shapes, the sod should be removed from those 8 eye shapes. The grass should be shaken out to leave as much soil as possible behind.

The grass itself may be deposited in the compost area at the back of the small parking lot behind Unity Hall. Steps lead down from the upper parking lot to the rear parking area behind Unity Hall. The compost area is at the base of the treed hillside.

Sod busters should provide their own tool(s) and are welcome to come any time within the next two weeks.

Please call if you have further questions.

Please call if you will be able to participate in final site preparation and transplanting.
