6 East State Street Speaker Series is excited to host Ascension member, Marsha Shortell, on Thursday, April 23, at noon. Marsha is a life-long gardener, member of various garden clubs, and a volunteer in the restoration and preservation of historic gardens and landscapes.

Marsha is a member of the Garden Club of Savannah, the Savannah Area Council of Garden Clubs, and the incoming president of the Southbridge Garden Club. She is also a volunteer at Savannah's Botanical Gardens. Marsha lived in Asheville, NC, for 15 years and spent extensive hours at the Biltmore Estate. Her presentation will focus on Bitmore Estate's living masterpiece of landscape design; its history, its design, and its vision.

This is a free event, and light refreshments will be served.

Our mission: 6 East State is a community outreach center that hosts a broad range of ministry work, including service projects, noon lectures, sacred & secular musical events, and much more!

Opening in June 2022, the congregation began hosting events that build on our faith, service to others, historic traditions, and music excellence. The activities range from feeding the hungry, offering a midweek contemplative communion service, Jazz Vespers and other music concerts, speaker series and community service projects. All events are free and open to the public.

Visit our Facebook page at 6 East State for all of our ministries and events. For more information, please contact the church office at (912) 232-4151.
