Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way in order that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
2 Corinthians 9:10-12
Social Ministries is truly excited about the new garden project that will be starting out at the Orchard House. We call you to join us in this new venture!
Social Ministries was seeing a great need to allow low to no income families and individuals a place where they can grow a few vegetables for their home, as well as allow volunteers to grow food for the community in need. In interacting with the earth one grows in self-worth. Not only will the garden provide substance for the body, it will bring substance to the mind and spirit.
The garden being a place that calls us to serenity and prayer stirred the idea of adding a meditation element by adding a labyrinth and areas of beauty where one can sit. Also down the road having an art garden where art pieces can be displayed by the students from Eye in the Sky class.
It is a great opportunity for the congregation and other churches to break the soil, plant seeds, nurture plants, and lift up our whole community together. We do not come together around the earth as much as we should. It is time that we turn the swords into plowshares, it is time for us to plant seeds and bring nourishment to the soul and body. Pray and participate with us in this new ministry!
