Because of Him, it WILL be good!

Hey everyone!

Hoping the rain on Saturday came as a blessing to all of you in possibly needed rest and catching up on indoor activities (I am now caught up and ahead in my school work AND the house is clean!)

This week, we will have extended garden hours 5-dark on Tuesday and Wednesday to get caught up and ahead of our plantings AND to finish cleaning up the beds and walkways. We will be working on planting our potatoes (finally!), along with some more onions, carrots, and spring mix. Children are invited to plant with their parents their seeds of Easter egg radishes and purple carrots! We will be harvesting more kale, some spinach, scallions, a few sprigs of asparagus, herbs, eggs, and a special treat for our kidz!

In reverence to our Lord and the events leading up to His crucifixion, we will not be working in the garden on Thursday or Saturday. The garden will, however, be open from 8-10am on Saturday for anyone wanting to spend some time in silence and prayer. We will have chairs set up around the prayer garden on the West side of the garden and on the East side around the cross. Please also consider visiting the Stations of the Cross inside the sanctuary which is a series of images with scripture readings regarding the events of our Lord's journey to His death.

Hoping many of you can join us Tuesday and/or Wednesday and I pray you will consider spending some time on Saturday morning with our Lord in His garden.

Because of His love and sacrifice for all of us, it WILL be good!
