Three Events - Share Gifts for Growing our Faith this Autumn
My name is Matt Glaccum. One of the ways I have found to give back to the community over the past five years is to work in the parish garden. I am proof that you don’t need to be a master gardener to do so! The only qualification is a willingness to put in the time and effort when you can to help bring the Lord’s bounty to those who need it (such as by tilling the soil, pulling weeds or tending the plants).
The produce from the garden goes to Hidden Harvest and others to help get it where it is needed the most.
Helping others while enjoying the beauty of His creation in the green that grows–with the fellowship of like-minded folks, a wonderful way to take in the cool of the morning or the ending of the day.
Assumption Garden Update
Saturday morning, there was a tremendous turnout of volunteers to help plant the church garden. Thanks to all of you for making this event happen in between rains. Several of the group helped with the installation of the pole system for growing pole beans this year. We are looking forward to a bountiful harvest. Watch for further updates.
