🌷 Spring Clean-Up Day at St. James! 🌷

When: May 3, 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Where: St. James Church grounds

Hey everyone! We’re inviting all youth to come out and join us for a fun and meaningful Spring Clean-Up Day at St. James! We’ll be cleaning out flower beds, edging beds and spreading mulch, raking yards, picking up sticks on the lawns, cutting back shrubs, planting, and other related projects. Bring your rakes, gloves, shovels, wheelbarrows, garden tools and anything else that might be needed. It’s a great chance to roll up your sleeves, get outdoors, and help make our space beautiful for everyone to enjoy.

Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a powerful way to give back to your community, build teamwork skills, and make a real difference. Plus, it feels good to help others, and you’ll walk away with new friendships and the satisfaction of knowing you helped make something better. 💪🌱

Snacks will be provided, and we’d love to see you there! Bring your friends, your energy, and let’s make St. James shine!
