Dear Fellow Faith Members,

After several discussions, it was determined that it is in the best interest of our congregation to create a Landscaping Committee.  About a year ago, I placed an article in The Voice seeking interested members of Faith to contact me about serving on such a committee.  We are still seeking individuals that could regularly meet and walk our campus to identify potential problems & enhancement options.  You do not need gardening gloves.  This is not a committee that would necessarily be hands-on.  We have a landscaping company to do that; however, directives are always helpful.  Please contact me at 239-216-1866 or .

Also, Ramona Mitchell has graciously agreed to take over the orchid care in the Memorial Garden.  The orchid area was created and nurtured by parishioners, the late Greg & Evva Boll.  Our current “collection” experienced a lot of stress during the recreation of the garden.  Ramona will do her best to bring them to life; however, should anyone have orchid they no longer wish to care for, we would welcome the replacement donation for the Garden.

With Gratitude,

Michael L Schmidt
