Have you ever heard the saying “Many Hands make the load light?” This is especially true in maintaining our property, both inside and out. The Peace Property Board is hosting a Spring Workday on Saturday, March 3 from 9 AM to 12 PM. We are asking all who are able to roll up their sleeves and help with projects that range from spreading mulch to changing light bulbs. Plan to stop by the Narthex around 9 AM on Saturday, March 3 for hot coffee and snacks, fun and fellowship, and a task for the morning. Your service to Peace is appreciated.
