  The mission of the Prison Book Program is to support people in prison by sending them free books and print resources that meet their specific needs and interests. Prisoners write into the program with specific requests and PBP volunteers do their best to fulfill them. Volunteering usually includes a “job” such as picking books, invoicing, packing and/or quality control. This is an extremely rewarding volunteer activity - don't miss out!

  The church is the giant stone building with the gold dome. Go to the back of the building – the opposite end from the steeple. 

  The stairs go down to the basement and are on the sidewalk next to the street and traffic light.

  Simple Stems, Shared Joy: A Floral Workshop
  

  Join us for a meaningful hands-on workshop where we'll create beautiful flower arrangements to brighten the days of memory care residents.

  Led by Lucinda Chrislip, founder of the woman-owned Derby Farm Flowers, you'll learn how to craft elegant, long-lasting arrangements using affordable flowers similar to what you’d find at your local supermarket. Lucinda will share professional design techniques you can use again and again - proving that gorgeous arrangements don't require expensive specialty blooms.

  What We'll Do Together:

  • Learn simple techniques for creating balanced, beautiful arrangements
  • Work with accessible flowers to create something special
  • Create arrangements that will be donated to local memory care facilities through our partnership with Theo's Flowers
  • Connect with other TDC members while making a tangible difference

  No floral experience needed - just bring your creativity and willingness to spread joy.

  This workshop launches our new partnership with Theo's Flowers, bringing beauty and connection to those in memory care.
