Our own Debby Nelson is the director of these choirs and a few singers also attend this church. A FREE WILL OFFERING will be taken. The Flowers of Spring! This year we would like to try something a little different with the flowers beds around the church. When you pick up your bedding plants and if you wish to, pick up a 6 or 12 pack of flowers for the church flower beds as well. George is most willing to plant them for us and to maintain them. It can be any type of flower you wish but remember that the flower beds are not full sun and we seem to have better luck with shade and drought plants, but petunias, snap dragons, geraniums, marigolds and alyssum have all done well as I am sure would others. Plants can be brought to the church beginning the May long weekend. KLC ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: MAY 1 ST Please join us at Westhill Park Baptist Church Sunday, May 1 st, 12 noon for some lunch and then immediately following lunch we will begin the meeting and give detailed updates on what is happening in the life of the camp! 8
