PEGGY LEE DAY

QUOTABLE:

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Then you will seek me and find me: when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord."

JEREMIAH 29: 11-14

Impact our world through conversation and education as we celebrate trees and observe Arbor Day. Trees reduce air pollution, cool the atmosphere, prevent soil erosion, ease the severity of floods and decrease maintenance costs of roads and parking areas. We can all help out by planting the right tree in the right place. Volunteer to plant trees alongside other community members.

Starts at 9:00 AM
