Spring has sprung and that means it’s time to plant the warm-weather crops in the Mustard Seed Garden. Join us today at 9 a.m. (we should be finished by 11 a.m., if not earlier - many hands make light work) to help harvest the the remains of the winter greens; prepare the beds; and plant tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, okra, and more. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and gardening gloves; we will provide necessary tools. Invite your friends! No experience necessary.

The Refugee Ministry will welcome a new family - a young couple with an 18-month-old and a 7 -month-old baby - at next week! We are now collecting donations of gently used household items and furniture to help set up the family’s new apartment. The resettlement agency provides beds and mattresses, but we could use almost anything else. Most needed items: furniture (small sofa, armchairs, dining table and chairs) lamps, bed/bathroom linens, all manner of kitchen and bathroom supplies/equipment, and storage chests for bedrooms. We will also need volunteers to help set up the apartment and once the family arrives, we’ll also need volunteers to provide fellowship and transportation. If you are interested in volunteering or making donations, please contact Allison Ezell at allisonezell@yahoo.com or 404-584-7323.
