Mowing Help Needed Weekly volunteers are needed to maintain the Peace grounds. Volunteers are asked to mow sometime between Thursday and Saturday (please avoid Saturday mornings during the church services happening&nbsp;then),&nbsp;so the lawn is in good shape for Sunday services.&nbsp; It takes roughly 3+ hours to mow\/ trim the entire area. Tim Fried (651-600-1316) is the contact person for using the lawnmowers, etc.- please contact him if you haven\u2019t used the equipment before. Peace has&nbsp;two riding mowers, one push mower, and a weed whipper. Here\u2019s the link to the SignUp Genius:&nbsp;&nbsp;Peace mowing Thank you! Faith Support with Sojourners Magazine \u201cSojourners Magazine has been a key part of my personal faith support plan since I first encountered it while in seminary in the late 1980\u2019s. Issues come out monthly. I read each one cover to cover \u2013 breakfast reading that I always look forward to! \u201cAs I finished the most recent issue, I noticed a program Sojourners has where they distribute copies at a significant discount ($20\/year as opposed to $40\/year for the regular individual rate) to group&nbsp;members who&nbsp;gather together regularly to use the magazine for group reflection and discussion.&nbsp; \u201cSo I thought I would see if there are any Peace Church participants who are interested in forming a Sojourners faith support group.&nbsp; \u201cPlease send me an email at&nbsp;tidballs@gmail.com&nbsp;if this idea sounds interesting to you. \u201cThose who express an interest will help to decide the organizational details for the group (how often we meet, group process, etc.) Thanks for considering this opportunity.\u201d Dave Tidball Peace Gardening Group It\u2019s almost time to work on the Peace gardens.&nbsp; Every year, the gardening group plants some annuals around Memorial Day, then volunteers to do watering, weeding, and deadheading on a weekly basis.&nbsp; Two volunteers per week are needed.&nbsp; There is a SignUp Genius available at:&nbsp;Peace gardening New gardening volunteers are always welcome.
