Adult Faith Formation: Native Plants and Pollinators 101 - Wednesday, May 28, at 7pm in the Community Room

Have you wondered why Marie Donigan keeps telling you to plant native plants in your garden? Wonder no more! Marie will reveal all on May 28 when she presents Native Plants and Pollinators 101. This forum is for everyone who wants to do more to fight climate change and to bring more pollinators into their yards, beautifully!

St. John’s Garden Team and the Faith and Justice Committee is sponsoring a native plant sale! Sunday, June 8 from 9am-1pm

The purpose of the sale is to encourage parishioners to plant native plants in their home gardens, especially ‘keystone’ plants that host the insects we need to survive, and to demonstrate our commitment to The Episcopal Church’s Covenant for the Care of Creation.

Plants will be $5 each and will include flowering plants and grasses, large and small. There will be a plant for every garden! $1 from each plant sale will be returned to St. John’s for our native plant gardening program. There will be experts there to advise you.

The sale will be set up in the front yard near the Hoop House and will be open to the public. Tell your friends!

Volunteers are needed to direct car parking and to greet guests. If you can help, contact Marie Donigan

Film screening and community dialogue presented by the Friends of Royal Oak Township

A Tale of Ten Cities

Truth Toward Reconciliation: The Vision, Journey, and Voices of Royal Oak Township

 

Once 36 square miles. Now less than one. Join us for a powerful screening and community conversation on the historic fragmentation of historic Royal Oak Township —diminished from 36 square miles to just .55 — through annexation, redlining, and municipal displacement.

This film chronicles the legacy of land loss, policy, and power in the shadow of one of the wealthiest counties in America. Invite your friends - it will be screening in the Library
