While our garden is finally settling down for its winter slumber,
we are still sharing plentiful harvests of Swiss chard, Kale, Salad mix,
Spinach, Turnips, Radishes, Arugula, and Collards; Thanks be to God! We are continuing to meet Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons, along with Saturdays mornings to harvest and work on final garden
tasks for the next couple of weeks.
We look forward to our “Final Fruits Luncheon” on Saturday, December 14th at
12:30pm as we celebrate God’s many blessings this year in our garden. Join us as we fire up our new brick oven, bake lots of pizzas, and
enjoy tasty sides! We are hoping for
good weather but will also have the church basement set up for “Plan B”! Any donations will be most appreciated to
help pay for pizza ingredients.
Our 2014 Garden calendars have been ordered and will be arriving
soon! A limited number have been ordered
so please let me know if you would like to have one (or more!) saved for
you! Your donations of $25 per calendar
will provide many seeds and supplies for our garden next year. Any additional donations are always welcomed
as we remain completely self-funded through garden memberships and individual
donations.
We are committed to continuing our mission of feeding the hungry
in our community through shared harvests while experiencing Christian
fellowship, love, joy, and unity by working and taking care of God’s
creation. Over 750 lbs of fresh produce
has been donated to S.A.F.E. since their opening and we look forward to
substantially increasing our donations for next year. We have also been offering free memberships
to all S.A.F.E. families and we are thankful for the several dedicated families
that have joined our garden. With our
garden plantings now focused on meeting our local food pantry’s needs, it is
our hope and prayer that we will continue to increase in garden memberships as
well as funding in order to provide an abundance of fresh produce to our
neighbors.
Come grow with us! We are
now accepting new members for the 2014 garden season; still only $10 per season
or $25 for the year with a commitment to work one hour per week for a share of
the daily harvest. You
don’t have to have a green thumb (or even get your hands dirty!) to be a
member! Prayerfully consider joining as
a “Garden Angel” for $50 to help support our garden ministry. There are many
parts and positions to the planting process!
Thank you
all for your continued support and prayers for our garden!
It WILL be
good!
