New Trees

Yesterday four beautiful trees were planted at the Church of Peace. They are Maple trees of a fairly large size so they should provide both shade and fall color almost immediately. They are planted in the boulevard/parkway between the sidewalk and the street on 12th Avenue, along the south side of the sanctuary.

The driving force behind getting the trees in the ground this fall was Ernie Colclasure. He arranged to purchase the trees for a good price, get the appropriate approval from the City of Rock Island, and obtain professional installation. The beautiful landscaping at the church not only shows our love of God, but also shows our pride and commitment to the neighborhood.



At a certain level, every tree planted is a statement of faith in the future.
