Fellow Crossbearing Gardeners at Kennydale UMC

Rev. Tom Carlson, who served Community UMC here in Leavenworth some time back, noticed our JC Garden when he kindly joined us for our centennial celebrations in 2007. His congregation now joins us on a journey of gardening soil and soul. Read Tom's note to his congregation at Kennydale UMC below and take a look at the photo of their own JC Garden.

KENNYDALE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH------SUMMER 2009

From the Pastor's Desk: Summer has finally arrived...

Many folks have been stopping by and looking at our Jerusalem Cross Garden, in the front yard of our Church building. The comments have
been varied, but all have been very positive. Soon, I hope to have some leaflets available to the public explaining what this garden is all about. Rev. Roger Hudson, in his Jerusalem Garden blog, calls it gardening of soil and soul. You can read more about it at---------------------------------------http://www.jerusalemcrossgarden.blogspot.com/. In the course of the summer, I will share with you all the meaning of the four smaller crosses inside the four larger plots. Then, the Lord willing, there will be vegetables to share throughout the growing season.
