Spring is here, plants are growing, and that means it's time to start tending our gardens. At today's service, our own Bob Boldt and local farmer Mike Oney came to talk about the NEEED Project's Heart of Missouri Gardens, a community garden that last year supplied fresh produce to local senior centers. They're looking for volunteers to make this year even better, a true volunteer "opportunity" --- gardening is good for body and soul! Garden-grown Nutrition, however, is only the first letter of the NEEED Project's name; its goals also address Energy, Environment and Economic Development. Visit neeedproject.org for more information on how they're addressing these issues and how you can help in the garden or get involved.

Message: "The Cost of Spring," Rev. Nancy Tanner-Thies
(Note the change of title and focus from what was in the April Newsletter.) Rev. Nancy will be reflecting on the words of Laurie Dietrich who writes in part, “She Begins. She begins because beginnings are what she does… She gifts you the secrets of beginning… She’ll fail, of course. You’ll defy her…” We will consider what we can learn about beginnings as we move further in to this burgeoning springtime.
