Food for our worms –Worm farms are one way to reduce greenhouse gasses such as CO2 and methane from being produced as food scraps decompose in landfill. The parish’s environmental initiative, which Fr Jeff introduced on his arrival in the parish, involved encouraging parishioners to consider acquiring their own worm farm or bringing food scraps (not meat, dairy or onions) to the rectory for the several worm farms located there or for composting. This is still happening, and you are welcome to contribute to this effort.
ST PAUL’S PANTRY needs food, health and cleaning items. A basket is in the church foyer for donations.
Lea MacNeil has jam, conserves, pickles and various sauces to sell; please email her at lea.macneil@gmail.com to order them from her. All proceeds go to St Luke’s Parish.
