Easter @ St. Andrew's on Hampton Street!
by Bruce Robison 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

A last reminder: Festival Services of the Holy Communion at St. Andrew's tomorrow morning, Easter morning, at 9 a.m. (with organ and hymns) and 11 a.m. (with organ, brass, and choir). Nursery Care is available for infants and younger children, 8:45 a.m. - 12: 15 p.m. Children are of course always welcome in Church! A Champagne Reception will follow each service, and we are invited to bring cookies or other treats to add to the refreshment table. The traditional Children's Easter Egg Hunt will be held in the Churchyard following the later service. The "Flowering Cross" in the St. Andrew's Churchyard is one of the fun traditions of this day. Lots of folks enjoy the opportunity to take a family Easter Day snapshot in front of the Cross before or after morning services. We are invited to bring a floral contribution to enhance the decoration. Blessings on this Day and in the Season ahead!

If you'd like to help, but aren't available on the 19th, please let me know, in case we can't find enough people on that date and have to reschedule. thanks, pat

Lawn Care
by Emily Nicholson 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Hi Neighbors, I believe there have been several posts recently from people providing grass cutting and lawn care services, but I didn't keep them as I thought we would be using the same gentleman we have used for the last 3 years. However, I don't know if he moved or is out of the business or what, but he is not answering his phone or returning voicemails. Our grass desperately needs to be cut. Anybody interested? Thanks, Emily

Monthly garden club meeting--FREE!!!
by Rachel Kudrick 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Hello, neighbors! The Highland Park Garden Club would like to invite you all to attend our monthly meeting tomorrow (Saturday, April 14th) at 10:00 am. This months program will be an informal, member-led chat and discussion among all attendees entitled "How Does Your Spring Garden Grow?" Because it's finally here, we thought it would be fun to talk about all the exciting signs of spring we're seeing in our gardens and in our neighborhood. 1. What's your favorite sign of spring? It could be a particular plant, a bird, bees: you name it! 2. What are you noticing coming up in your garden right now? Weed love for you to share some information about one or two plants that you’re happy to see putting out new growth and blooms in your garden. When did you start it? Why do you love it? Is there some Family history--or even folklore--about these plants? How long have you been growing them? Any hints and tips you can share with us on how to keep them flourishing and at their best this growing season? 3. Come with your gardening concerns. While we can't guarantee that we'll have the answers, we’ll certainty be happy to brainstorm and try to point you in the right direction! Let's share our excitement for, and varied experiences of, experiences of urban gardening! There will be some light refreshments and perhaps a few small items for sale! This program is FREE and all are welcome to attend. If you enjoy your experience, we welcome you to join the club for only $15/year, which includes a few great member perks! We hope to see you there!
