> Idea of the Month: Peace Gardens
 

Whether in your congregation or your neighborhood, invite children to discover God's ongoing care for creation through gardening:

“Thank you, God, for the soil; thank you, God, for the sun; thank you, God, for the water; thank you for the seed.”

Here's one congregation's story.


> Reflection: "Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening"
  "Let every Christian be a gardener so that he and she and the whole of creation, which groans in expectation of the Spirit's final harvest, may inherit Paradise. 

If we Christians truly treasure the hope that one day we, like Adam and the penitent thief, will walk alongside the One who caused even the dead wood of the Cross to blossom with flowers, then we must also imitate the Master's art and make the desolate earth grow green."
