Talk about the difference your congregation made in your community this year. Tell them why you are excited to be part of the ministry (or ministries) you are involved in. Be authentic. Make it personal. Just be you. You got this.

Butterfly Weed has good years and bad. It does not like it's feet wet and the young ones can be badly damaged by aphids unless they are protected until they are old enough to shrug them off. Also it does not like a lot of mulch around it's roots.

Thomas Jefferson's favorite tree. I love my fringe trees. I was lucky enough to get a male and a female many years ago. Sadly, they are now infested with emerald ash borers.
