Grounds Team: It’s up to us

What does it mean to belong at a church? …What do we do together? Church is a group endeavor, and we all have the power to reach out … It’s up to each of us!

In the past year the Grounds Team has done considerable weeding of gardens, adding native species, removing invasives from the meadow and woods and, most importantly, observing and learning about all of the above. Thanks to all who have shared some time, enthusiasm, and social energy on working with others to care for the church grounds!

In this ongoing relationship with each other and other species, our human partners here at UUCC come and go as their availability and interest move them. We always value new folks, whether they come only once or many times to participate in the hands-on and minds-on work of land stewardship and right relations with the Earth. If you have thought about connecting with this endeavor but not acted, how about now?

October is a great time to plant, to learn, and to nurture our land. But, how do we communicate to make this happen? It’s up to us! You can reach out to Carol Arnold or Patty Daus, in person or at grounds@uucomo.org, so we can coordinate a date for you to join in a small-group grounds session! Custom plans can accommodate your schedule, and we can pull things together with either a little or a lot of lead time. There are always things to do; We just need to know when you want to join in and give it a go!
