The Slideshow features pictures of Trailfest and of workers preparing the trail...

Trailfest occurred on May 24th. It was sponsored by Stewardship and Congregational Life. We enjoyed a cookout and activities celebrating the opening of the Serenity Trail.

Work has continued through the summer with much progress made on preparing the trail as a beautiful, serene place for our community to enjoy.
