All Flowers Are Welcome.

Here is the 2024 premier video of The Big, Beautiful, Bountiful Bouquet at 1st Presbyterian in Maysville, KY.

From Mother's Day to Labor Day, people bring flowers from their gardens for the Bountiful Bouquet.

At the end of the service the flowers dispersed in smaller bouquets to members of the church - or to people who couldn't make it to church.

Today, a few kids were delighted to get some Bouquets flower to give to their moms cuz it's Mother's Day!

Enjoy the blooms.

Federal Hill Open House in Old Washington

Federal Hill holds the history of Kentucky within its walls and on the land - the good, the bad and the ordinary.

This was the public unveiling of the house and property today, May 11, 2024.  It was a glorious event.  People were there for hours - exploring the house, learning some of the history, eating stews, soups and crepes and just enjoying each others company
There were many Presbyterians there - here are some of the photos

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots project where artists raise money for food banks that are feeding the hungry in their communities.

There are three components to this fundraiser:

1) local artists from Ohio River Valley artists Guild generously make hand-thrown pottery bowls

 2) you buy a ticket for $25, then choose your handmade bowl

 3) you get to enjoy a tasty lunch, consisting of 3 different soups, cornbread, a desert and a bottle of water

All proceeds from the sale of the bowls go directly to the Mason County Food Bank to help local individuals and families in need.

PRESBYTERIAN COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS

The River Sweep is a volunteer, riverbank cleanup effort to help clear the shoreline along the Ohio River. It is sponsored by the Maysville Rotary Club and the Mason County Conservation District in conjunction with the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission.

Volunteers at the Ohio River Sweep collected 30 bags of trash from the riverbanks on Saturday.  The starting point for the event was the Maysville Limestone Landing.

The tradition continues. Sunday, October 1, 2023,was the Blessing of the Pets. This date draws its inspiration from World Animal Day on October 4. That date is also the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.

All animals were welcome as long as they are either on a leash or caged.
