We'll start the morning with donuts and coffee and break for lunch at noon.  All are invited to come help clean up our grounds.  All ages welcome - to help move rocks, clean up trash, trim and prune shrubs and hedges.  Check out the list below for a more extensive list of things that need to be done. 

Come When You Can, Leave When You Need To!  If you have certain tools or abilities that would be helpful email Meghan - associatevicar@stcolumbakent.org. 

And remember St. Columba really knows how to put the party in work party!  Let's get our property looking beautiful and have fun doing it :).
