Help Plant Our Forgiveness Garden
Join us at White Sulphur Springs on July 5th and 6th as we put our
hearts, souls, and bodies into prepping for the creation of a beautiful
new "Forgiveness Garden."With your help we'll transform
what is now a dirt-filled Olympic-size swimming pool (next to the
"Inn") into a peaceful sanctuary lush with plants, trees,
flowers and pathways, to be enjoyed by Process students and visiting
grads for years to come.
 Experience
is not Necessary
Whether you consider yourself skilled or unskilled, we'd love your
help Saturday 7/5, Sunday 7/6, or both days. If you can help on both
days, you can spend Saturday night at White Sulphur Springs for free!
There will be refreshments in the morning and a complimentary lunch,
and when you're not working, you can use the swimming pool, hot tub,
sulphur pool, and beautiful grounds. If you're unable to join us for
both workdays, we'll be grateful for whatever time you can give.
