March reminds us that growth begins quietly. The seeds we plant today — through service, literacy, and connection — become the strong roots of tomorrow’s community. As we step into spring, we’re grateful for every member helping cultivate something meaningful.

👋🏻 Meet Our Service Committee 👋🏻
In February, members met to propose this year’s community service budget. The Service Committee selects projects, gifts, and hands-on efforts we feel might enhance our community’s needs.
Annual projects include Camp AG, Empty Bowls, food pantries, and more. Our next project is Camp AG Jubilee, featuring gardening and community fun.
Every member is part of Service.
Join us on May 17 11am - 4pm to plant flowers and smiles.

👋🏻 Meet Our Literacy Committee 👋🏻
The Literacy Committee met in February to discuss literacy in our community.
Literacy builds confidence, connection, opportunity, and hope for families.
We place books directly into children’s hands, strengthening homes and futures.
Our Learning Pods partnership, through the South County Youth Coalition, supports young families during critical early years.
Together, we promote literacy, equity, and lasting change across our community.
