Community Garden at Antioch!
The Outreach Committee at Antioch would like to invite you to join in a new project for this gardening season: we are growing a community garden next to Antioch! This garden will be our way of blessing the community. It will be open for anyone who wants to pick fresh produce, free of charge. The garden has been planted, bu we still need help to ensure that it grows and flourishes. For more information contact Brenda Barnes at 676-3630.

Special thanks as well to David Arthur and Haynie Hite for their help getting our garden in the ground!
Brenda Barnes and Joy Daigle Book join with the Southside Gleaning Network to gather 688 pounds of turnips for the hungry on October 30, 2009.
These turnips were then distributed in Lunenburg and other surrounding counties.
