Many May Blessings in the Garden!




 Hi everyone.   

Despite the crazy weather we have been experiencing, our garden is growing and filled with an abundance of God’s Goodness!  Our early planted veggies are now prospering and producing to include spring mix, Romaine lettuce, kale, turnip greens, Swiss chard, spinach, asparagus, strawberries, and radishes! Very soon we will be enjoying some some broccoli, beets, carrots, and sugar snap peas!     Our potatoes, onions, leeks, and garlic are all doing great along with our recently planted tomatoes (really looking forward to that first ‘mater sandwich!), eggplants, peppers, and cucumbers.

We praise God for His many blessings to include His leading several new garden members to join our ministry as well as many returning members..and garden angels!  We also give praise and thankfulness again to God for our wonderful garden intern this past year, Melisa Peebles!  We are so happy that she has decided to come back often to work in the garden and worship with our church family!  We are also looking forward to meeting Andrew Hammond, our new garden intern next week along with Chris Gimmett who are both joining our church family as Duke Divinity interns for the summer.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and love for our garden! 

It WILL be good!
