John 15:1-8– “This is how my Father shows who he is-when you produce grapes, when you mature as my disciples.” (v.8, The Message) That God does what he says.” (v.30-31, The Message)ġ John 4:7-21– “No one has ever seen God if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.”(v.12-13, NRSV) Psalm 22:25-31– “ Our children and their children
We pray that as a church family, we can be the good soil and produce a “hundredfold” to share with all of our neighbors and friends–not just through food, but also through lessons learned and relationships built in the process!Īcts 8:26-40– “As they were going along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?’” (v.36,NRSV) By taking care of the earth and growing this garden, we hope to address some of the issues of food insecurity and accessibility in our community. The goal of our community garden is to care for God’s land, tend to the produce and collect a harvest that we can share among our church family and those in our community in need. If you have any seeds to contribute or any gardening tricks up your sleeve, please come and share. All hands are welcome as we begin to make rows and plant seeds in the ground–there is something for everyone to do. We will turn the land, build rows, and begin to plant seeds. This Saturday, April 28th we will gather at our community garden site from 10am-12noon. Other seed fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.’ (Mark 4:3-8) Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.
And when the sun rose, it was scorched and since it had no root, it withered away. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up quickly, since it had no depth of soil. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up. They are just $10…and I promise you will have a great time with Joanie and me at the breakfast!Ī sower went out to sow. Please call, text, or email Joanie or myself to reserve a ticket for yourself. What a great way to live in to our calling as Christian to be a part of this community gathering to join hands, lift prayers together, and support persons in need in our community. The breakfast will benefit the DUMA Benevolence Ministries (including the Food Pantry and Financial Assistance services). Will you please attend the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast with us? Joanie and I have tickets and we ask you this: DUMA will present the annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast hosted at Gospel Tabernacle Church. On Thursday, May 3 at 7:30 am, we have the opportunity to join hands as people of faith along with folks around our country to pray for all people in our country. And in a time when dissension, division, and disunion is rampant within our society, joining hands across the distance of our communities and in spite of our differences speaks to a core hope of our Christian faith and practice: “that they may all be one,” as Jesus prayed in the gospel of John. It embodies our hope that together we can make a difference in our community. It enacts our belief that we have much in common. It symbolizes our longing to live in unity with one another. Joining hands across our community is a powerful act.
